About Me

Senior Software Engineer Associate

In August 2023, after graduating with my Bachelor's degree, I joined Capital One as a Software Engineer Associate through the Technology Development Program. As part of the rotation program, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of tech stacks and teams and learn skills like cloud infrastructure deployment, full stack development, content delivery, API desgign and implementation, and identity and access management principles. During this time, I worked under the Capital One Software line of business, contributing to projects like Capital One's Databolt. In February 2025, I graduated the Technology Development Program, got promoted to Senior Software Engineer Associate at Capital One, and internally transferred to the Card Loyalty space.
