I'm the friend who can whip up a gourmet meal from whatever's in your pantry—except in my case, the pantry is a codebase, and the gourmet meal is a beautifully executed solution that makes computers do things.As an autodidact and polyglot programmer, my journey has led me from crafting flagship mobile apps for BCBS in Cordova/Phonegap and native Java & Swift, to now developing cutting-edge AI applications using Python and Django. My latest passion? Unleashing the power of Langchain to build intelligent LLM applications that solve complex problems.Likes: Pair programming, TDD, BDD, open-source contributions, Vim (Spacemacs), Extreme Programming, and of course, pushing the envelope in AI.Dislikes: Meetings that could've been emails, and silos that stifle innovation.Past Lives: I was the sole developer for the first three versions of BCBS's Android and iOS apps, and later part of the HCSC/Pivotal Labs XP team for the fourth-gen rewrites. I also spearheaded the migration of the iOS app from Swift 2.3 to Swift 3.Current Adventure: I'm currently helping shape the future of business chat interfaces at Atlas UP, where I'm fortunate enough to work a balanced week with plenty of self development and family time. Quality over quantity, always.I'm an unwavering advocate for sustainable work hours. And remember, if you're not learning, you're not living.
