Experience
Software Engineer
Taller Technologies 2022 - 2025
Develop tools and platform features for HealthEquity, a US financial-services company, supporting account management, recurring contributions and the automated workflows that process client transactions at scale. Engineer the systems that execute investment operations on behalf of clients — auto-invest, portfolio rebalancing and programmatic order placement against custodial accounts — implementing the technical execution layer rather than the underlying investment strategy. Build and maintain the backend services that handle movement of client funds between cash and investment positions, enforcing eligibility, contribution limits and settlement rules so every operation is correct, auditable and reversible. Design financial workflows that operate at high transaction volume, with idempotent processing, reconciliation and end-to-end traceability so reliability and regulatory compliance are first-class concerns rather than afterthoughts. Build and maintain microservices on a .NET, Python and Azure stack, focused on scalability and performance for production financial operations serving a large US customer base.
