As a seasoned technology professional with over 20 years of experience in both insurance and property management, I thrive on designing innovative solutions that drive business success and elevate customer experiences. My journey has taken me from hands-on application development to leading strategic architecture initiatives, and I’m passionate about using technology to solve complex problems and deliver tangible results.Currently, as a Solutions Architect at Greystar, I’m at the forefront of our first mobile app project, leveraging the Microsoft technology stack (React Native, C#, Azure) to create scalable, high-performance solutions. I lead cross-functional teams, including both internal talent and external contractors, to ensure we deliver an app that’s both engaging and efficient. My role also involves overseeing platform observability with Datadog, streamlining authentication with Azure B2C, and managing app store submissions.Before Greystar, I was a Principal Software Engineer at Unum, where I played a key role in architecting the Colonial Life Policyholder portal. My work there included designing a micro-services-based architecture, enhancing API security, and implementing a successful claim notification solution that reduced call center volume by 12%. I also developed a digital postcard solution that drove $11.3M in premium revenue within just three months.My career began at Colonial Life, where I started in application development and evolved into an architecture role over 23 years. I’m proud to have developed the company’s first mobile application, integrating it with our existing APIs to offer a seamless experience across platforms.I’m always eager to connect with fellow technology enthusiasts and industry professionals.
