When I first joined Magellan Health, I worked on AWS and iOS. I was responsible for creating the backend for an iOS application using serverless technologies. I also assisted in the development of the iOS application in Swift.

After a while, I was transferred to the AWS Cloud Infrastructure team at Magellan Health. Today, I help manage Magellan Health’s AWS Infrastructure of over 50 AWS accounts. I primary work on automating workflows, guiding teams new to the cloud, and building best practices infrastructures used throughout the organization.

While at OSU, I worked on motion tracking experiments at The Ohio State’s Department of Psychology. I created MATLAB software to collect and analyze subjects’ data. During my time here, I used object-oriented design to greatly improve development time. What used to take weeks to implement, now only takes a few days.

As an iOS Developer Intern, I was responsible for the development of Healthy Roster’s iOS application in Swift. I added a variety of features while I was the sole developer working on the product. Some of the features included creating a secure way of collecting student athletes’ information, implementing major UX and UI updates, and integrating new api endpoints that connected the application to Healthy Roster’s databases.

During my time at 2Checkout, my primary task was to create SDKs that integrated with their new api. I created a new client facing libaries in Ruby, C#, and Javscript.
