about me

I'm a senior software engineer at Cohere Health, building prior authorization solutions in Java, Groovy, and on AWS. Before that, I spent six years at McKesson building enterprise applications. What really gets me excited is stepping back to see how it all works.

I'm a developer who genuinely loves system design sessions, gets thrilled by well-organized project structures, and thinks planning is just as important as coding. Give me a notebook and some time to map out how everything connects, and I'm in my happy place.
