I am a .NET software developer passionate about building user-centered solutions that address real-world challenges.My strengths lie in gathering and translating user feedback into effective software designs. I thrive on collaborating with stakeholders to understand their needs, then crafting intuitive applications to solve their problems. Example: I spearheaded the design and development of a .NET 4.8 application module to streamline the onboarding process for our client-facing portal. This solution, featuring a streamlined work list and menu system, reduced provider onboarding time by an estimated 500%, significantly improving efficiency for our ~20,000 external users. In addition to new development, I also maintain and enhance existing .NET and Microsoft SQL Server codebases. By prioritizing code readability and modularity, I ensure seamless collaboration with other engineers and create applications that are easy to troubleshoot and maintain.Example: I recently optimized an ETL step, reducing its average runtime from 56 minutes to 17 minutes by implementing a performant, reusable bulk copy C# method. This improvement directly impacted productivity and data processing speed, as well as reduced the time of a severe bottleneck in our ETL.Although I've worked in software for the last few years, my foundation in biomedical engineering research instilled in me a strong problem-solving mindset and a passion for learning. During my research, I developed an analog NIRS circuit to sense blood oxygen levels, interfaced it with a microcontroller and ADC on a custom PCB, and integrated it into a 3D-printed wristwatch. This device utilized a custom signal processing algorithm to detect opioid overdoses and automatically administer an antidote through a wireless drug delivery system.
