Hello! I'm a dedicated software engineer specializing in Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) techniques within the insurance industry. I focus on processing sensitive data pivotal in evaluating insurance claims and policies, prioritizing data privacy and security throughout the process.My expertise lies in navigating a microservices-based tech stack, predominantly using the Java Spring Boot framework and leveraging Cloud-based resources for storage and deployment. Daily, I engage with a diverse set of technologies including Java, Python, Spring Boot, JavaScript, JUnit, PostgreSQL, and various AWS services.Additionally, I have hands-on experience in frontend development with AngularJS and a suite of data processing libraries like pandas, Tableau, matplotlib, scikit-learn, and NumPy. My toolset encompasses JetBrains IntelliJ, WebStorm, and PyCharm for respective language development, Atlassian's JIRA and Confluence for seamless team collaboration, Git and GitLab for version control, GitLab CI/CD for continuous integration, Gradle for automated builds, Kubernetes for deployment, DBeaver for database analysis, and Postman for REST endpoint testing.Outside work, I indulge my passion for software development through personal projects. Currently, I'm crafting a flashcard application employing memory refresh periods based on calculated forgetting curves. In my spare time, I explore chess game analysis using Python and pandas.I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree from Central Michigan University (CMU), where I initially pursued biology but discovered my passion for software engineering. This led me to complement my studies with a minor in Computer Science. As a part of the Honor's Program, I conducted research on arboviruses, resulting in a publication in the esteemed journal Virology. Moreover, I founded the Central Michigan University Fencing Club, demonstrating my commitment to both academia and extracurricular activities.In the future, I aspire to pursue a Master's in Computer Science to further augment my skill set, aligning with my long-term career goals. I'm enthusiastic about leveraging my experiences and technical acumen to contribute meaningfully in the realm of software engineering.
