About

Hi it's Zoe...you found my website! I'm a software engineer who loves building things, solving problems, and finding better ways to make technology work for people. I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Psychology, which shaped my interest in both how systems work and the people who use them. Today, I work across the full stack, building web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and automation in the healthcare space.

I’m naturally curious and happiest in environments where I can take ownership, collaborate with different teams, and keep learning along the way. Outside of engineering, I’m a longtime athlete and coach, experiences that have shaped how I lead, communicate, and show up for a team. I care deeply about community, creativity, and meaningful work, and I’m excited by opportunities to build technology that has a real impact.

Projects

Universal Patient Timeline — Diverge Health

August 2026

Designed and built the data layer for a Salesforce-embedded React widget that puts a patient's full care history on one chronological feed. It merges encounters, assessments, vitals, medications, goals, conditions, appointments, and tasks into one view for care coordinators.

  • Wrote the design spec and implementation plan, defining a unified TimelineEvent model and a category registry, so a new data source only needs one config entry, one adapter, and one hook
  • Built pure TypeScript adapters that normalize 11 Salesforce and Postgres (Prisma) API sources into timeline events, splitting lifecycle records (medication start/stop, goal set/completed) into separate events
  • Implemented merge, sort, month-grouping, and time-bucket utilities with dayjs to drive the feed and an activity-density minimap
  • Wrote 28 Vitest unit tests covering every adapter and utility, and designed the adapters to be framework-free so they can move to a backend endpoint without UI changes

Parking Occupancy Prediction — LSTM Capstone

January 2025 – May 2025

Virginia Tech CS capstone (5-person team, ML lead): a web app for Blacksburg drivers that forecasts garage occupancy with per-garage LSTM models and recommends where to park based on your drive time.

  • Trained one Keras LSTM per garage on minute-level occupancy data, using 5-step windows of occupancy, day of week, and time of day to forecast 5–30 minutes ahead, with 5-fold TimeSeriesSplit validation and early stopping
  • Served the models through a Flask API that interpolates each forecast to the user's Google Maps drive time to that garage
  • Weighted scoring ranks garages by predicted occupancy, travel time, and distance based on the user's chosen priority
  • Express/Node backend links the React frontend (Leaflet, Google Maps Places and Directions APIs) to the ML service and a MySQL session store (Prisma, Liquibase), all packaged in Docker
