Every organization has a problem they are solving—these solutions need to engage, inform, surprise, delight, and impact their audience. With how fast technology is moving, these solutions can quickly become outdated and no longer serve the audience. Innovation is being able to react to these changes quickly and be forward-thinking in your solutions to solve the problems of tomorrow. As a classically-trained linguist, specializing in computational and theoretical linguistics, as well as an experienced Full-Stack Software Engineer, I use my skills to be the conduit between today's ideas and tomorrow's reality.When I'm not innovating on my own, I help organizations solve problems of the future by leveraging my diverse skill-set in linguistics, communication, software engineering, and unique perspective (as a minority in tech, first-generation American, and U.S. Army veteran) to work with designers, product owners, QA teams, and more to produce high-quality, innovative products and solutions to meet their business needs.Currently, I am a Senior Software Engineer on the Intuit ProTax team, where I build solutions for Professional Tax Software.My specialties and interests include backend/API Software Design & Development, frontend design & development, software security & architecture, and natural language processing.
