Experience

SmithRx

2025 to present

Software Engineer

Healthcare technology, pharmacy benefits management

  • Engineering lead on a historical claims import platform in Go: designed the data model so adjudication, accumulators, and reporting could consume imported claims with no code changes from those teams
  • Designed a phased workflow for running engineering projects through AI coding agents (plan, ticket breakdown, review gate before every pull request), and used it to lead a four-repository claims import that finished development more than three weeks ahead of schedule
  • Owned cross-team data-integrity validation for a claims data migration: built a Go CLI validation suite with two dozen automated checks and a thorough unit test suite, wrote the source-to-target mapping and validation guide the team adopted, and independently verified the full dry-run at production scale
  • Found and fixed a migration defect, heading off downstream eligibility, accumulator, and reporting errors
  • Led cross-system data quality initiatives across the claims pipeline, finding and fixing systemic issues, with production corrections delivered through formal change control
  • Root-caused an inflated member cost-share estimate in a claims recovery, and tuned the PostgreSQL join behind the analysis from over 20 minutes to about 15 seconds
  • Investigated and resolved production reporting incidents through root cause analysis, and wrote the correction runbooks so the fixes outlived the incidents
  • Built Python automation for production claims analysis that turned hours of manual batch work into minutes, adopted as the operations team's standard workflow
  • Built full-stack features from GraphQL schema design in Go (gqlgen) through React and TypeScript frontends, bringing cost calculation transparency to pharmacy claims, with Relay-compliant patterns, graceful degradation for older data, and shared fragments that cut frontend duplication
  • Led features that spanned several repositories, planning backward-compatible rollouts so backend and frontend changes shipped with zero downtime
  • Performed 100+ code reviews per quarter across 8 repositories, catching security vulnerabilities, data integrity bugs, and race conditions before they shipped

Indigo Tech Group, a Mindbody company

2023 to 2025

Technical Lead, Full Stack Software Engineer

Payments platform, since renamed Kite Technologies

  • Technical lead on merchant onboarding for the payment facilitator, including beneficial-ownership verification and sanctions screening
  • Authored Python coding standards based on PEP 8/257 that became the team baseline, covering layout, naming, error handling, and documentation while keeping the payments platform PCI compliant
  • Engineered a webhook subscription management system on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB, enabling real-time payment event notifications to external systems
  • Built card-present transaction processing by integrating the TriPOS Cloud API with Payrix, from POS terminal communication through transaction storage
  • Architected a secure, responsive iframe payment component in Next.js and TypeScript for credit card and bank account management inside the core application
  • Restructured monolithic Lambdas into modular microservices with PyTest suites at 80%+ coverage, surfacing 60+ bugs along the way
  • Designed the Datadog tagging schema and monitoring strategy across payment services, cutting incident response time through structured, contextual logging
  • Mentored junior engineers through reviews and pairing, on Pythonic idioms, data structures, and test-driven development

Mariana Tek | Xplor Technologies

2022 to 2023

Full Stack Software Engineer

Boutique fitness studio management SaaS

  • Developed the Ember.js admin application and Django REST APIs for a multi-tenant platform serving national boutique fitness brands
  • Implemented cart and checkout features including line-item discounts, quick-sale modals, and payment flows for in-studio point of sale
  • Built automated end-to-end suites in Selenium and Python covering check-in, checkout, and class reservation flows
  • Engineered a multi-tenant customization framework letting franchise clients ship white-labeled apps with their own styling and feature sets

Spearmint (OS Labs open-source accelerator)

2021 to 2022

Software Engineer

Accessibility-focused GUI for generating JavaScript tests, 1,000+ GitHub stars

  • Materially improved application performance and cut code editor memory use by roughly 60% by replacing heavyweight dependencies while preserving full terminal emulation
  • Extended TypeScript coverage through the React-Redux layer so action creators, reducers, and state were checked at compile time
  • Implemented Redux for immutable, predictable state, eliminating unnecessary re-renders and prop drilling
