As an engineer at heart, I thrive on tackling challenging, open-ended problems that drive innovation, productivity, and creativity within organizations. My career journey has naturally progressed towards software development, driven by a keen interest in systematically organizing data to facilitate sound business decisions across fast-paced industries like semiconductors.Key achievements in my career include developing a standardized process for implementing complex instructions for gas box assemblies, creating bill of material parsers for tracking customer changes, and integrating meta-information into our boms to automate complex decisions. These accomplishments exemplify my ability to handle large, intricate problems and transform them into manageable, solvable segments.In my role at Ichor Systems, I've honed my skills as a self-taught full-stack software developer, from configuring enterprise Linux servers to creating robust APIs. My programming experience lies in Python, using Django for backend development, and Angular for frontend applications. Collaborating with IT, I've integrated platforms with new applications to streamline workflows, thereby simplifying tasks and reducing frustration.My core skills lie in high-level process development, leveraging large language models for workflow automation, and possessing good intuition for both mechanical and software systems. I am adept at using Django, Python, TypeScript, and Angular, which are instrumental in my current projects.Professionally, I am driven by big problems that require strategic thinking. While my focus is on high-level processes and vision, I am equally capable of delving into technical details and acquiring new technical knowledge as needed. My approach is to work efficiently and effectively, always researching the right tools for the job at hand.Outside of work, I am passionate about riding my KTM 890 Adventure R, sailing, hiking, and traveling, with aspirations to one day obtain my pilots license. I also enjoy tinkering with lasers, 3D printers, mills, lathes, and CNC machines.Looking ahead, I am eager to expand my software development knowledge and understand my organization and industry more deeply. My goal is to spearhead full-scale solutions for automating the launch of new products from design to mass-manufacturing. Additionally, I am keen to deepen my understanding of specialized algorithms, data structures, and the application of vector data stores and large language models in processing micro-decisions within large, complex workflows.
