  • Senior Associate Software Engineer

    @ Travelers

    Working on full-stack applications using the MERN stack, C#, and MongoDB. I work cross-functionally with UX teams to come up with and modify design solutions. A promotional level was skipped due to exceptional performance.

  • EDP Software Engineer

    @ Travelers

    Using the same tech stack as above, I implemented QA improvements such as reducing end-to-end test times up to 75% and increased test accuracy/stability. I also initiated WCAG 2.2 accessibility compliance efforts within my applications. On top of that, I created and implemented refactoring/modernization iniatives to improve performance and maintainability.
