    contracted via Optum | UnitedHealth Group

    • Design, develop, and deploy production web APIs and full-stack features in C#/.NET within a large healthcare-technology environment.
    • Helped migrate the team’s applications from Azure DevOps to GitHub — moving repositories, rebuilding CI/CD pipelines as GitHub Actions workflows, and re-establishing branching and release processes with minimal disruption.
    • Own day-to-day source control, pull requests, and deployments through GitHub and GitHub Actions within an Agile delivery process.

  • React
  • Anthropic (Claude) SDK
  • Supabase (Postgres)
  • Vercel
  • Built and shipped a full-stack web app where an AI agent (Anthropic SDK) runs a guided intake — asking clarifying questions to shape a visitor’s rough idea into a structured brief, then routing it straight to a submission queue with no account required.
