Career Profile

Hey, I'm a Software Engineer at Optum.

I work primarily with Scala but I have also done projects with Java, and React.

Currently working on my MBA with The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2013 with a BS in Electrical Engineering but I specialized in Software Engineering. I was involved in a number of startups around Austin and I learned how to develop not just for the consumer but also for the business. I like to play around with new technology and hack around with gadgets.
