I have worked on a wide range of software platforms including Air Traffic Control, Social Media Marketing, FinTech, and Supply Chain Management. Scroll to see my journey to this point!
Work Experience
Software Engineer at Leidos (2026 - Present)
As a Software Engineer on the Terminal Flight Data Manager project, I develop and maintain mission-critical software systems that support US Air Traffic operations.
On the development side, I'm driving new feature development for the platform, taking requirements from client operations and translating them into robust, scalable solutions that enhance the platform's capabilities. A significant part of my work also involves deploying systems directly on-site, where I collaborate closely with our government client to ensure smooth implementation. Beyond deployment, I provide both remote and in-person operational support, troubleshooting issues, optimizing performance, and ensuring systems meet the agency's mission-critical requirements. This hands-on partnership keeps me grounded in how our code translates to real-world impact.
Tools and Tech: Python, Ansible, Shell Scripting, Linux, RHEL
Software Engineer at InComm Payments 2023 - 2026
Beginning in February 2023, I worked as a Software Engineer at InComm Payments, where I designed, built, and maintained backend .NET APIs for real-time transaction processing across the Visa, MasterCard, and American Express networks.
I contributed to several high-impact projects, including a full-scale integration with an HSA/FSA platform, where I worked on bank account creation, transaction flows, and customer service–initiated transactions processing $3.5M+ annually. I also built a production monitoring API to track transaction and fee volumes across multiple products, with automated anomaly detection and alerting.
In addition, I led backend development for a serverless Azure Functions application built in C#/.NET, designed and deployed in three months to support a high-traffic live event. I regularly serve as a point of contact during live releases, hot-fixes, and code migrations, and I’ve completed multiple rotations on on-call production support to ensure system reliability.
Tools and Tech: C#, .NET, Azure Functions, ASP.NET, MVC, ReactJs, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Developer, Splunk, Postman, Docker
Automation Engineer at InComm Payments (2021 - 2023)
In August 2021, I began working as an Automation Engineer at InComm Payments where I was part of a team that developed and maintained a comprehensive Data Driven Test Automation Suite for a collection of Financial Services products.
Much of my work revolved around C# and Selenium code with a bit of SQL, React, and SOAP/REST API work mixed in.
Tools and Tech: NUnit Unit Testing Framework, Postman, Oracle SQL Developer, Microsoft Azure, Visual Studio, VS Code, Github, Multi-Threaded Programming
Internships (2019-2021)
Prior to my time at InComm, I held 2 internship positions in Test Engineering having my hand in Manual QA testing and a bit of DevOps as well. In these internships, I worked on a number of unique projects including a Marketing SAAS Product, a Location Based Social Media Site, and a Supply Chain Order Entry Platform.
Across these positions, I documented hundreds of defects using Jira and worked with both in-person and remote developers to quickly remedy the issues. Additionally, I was given the opportunity to design and implement a Development and QA process which facilitated the completion of over 350 bugs and user stories.
Education
Georgia Institute of Technology (2025 - Present)
I'm currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology, specializing in Computing Systems. My coursework so far includes Computer Networks, Software Architecture and Design, Operating Systems, and Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence, which directly complements my work on mission-critical systems at Leidos.
Tools and Tech: A little bit of everything. (Python, C, Linux, Java, every class is a new adventure at this point)
St. Petersburg College (2022 - 2023)
In July 2023, I completed my Computer Programming Certificate in C# at St. Petersburg College. This program covered various C# and .NET principals like ASP.NET and Universal Windows Applications.
Tools and Tech: ASP.NET, C#
University of Tampa (2018 - 2021)
I graduated from University of Tampa with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a Minor in Management Information Systems. During my time at UT, I was involved in Delta Sigma Pi Professional Fraternity, Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society, and the Men’s Club Soccer Team. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong business foundation with an IT-centric work experience.
