Who am I?

Hi there, my name is Emily Iverson, and I'm a software engineer currently working at Optum. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota, where I gained a solid foundation in programming and software development. Working at Optum has given me the opportunity to use my skills to make a meaningful impact in the healthcare industry. I'm proud to be part of a team that is dedicated to improving people's lives through innovative technology solutions.

Outside of my work, I enjoy indulging in my creative passions, which include knitting, sewing, baking, and even occasionally doing some pixel art. I find these hobbies to be a relaxing and rewarding way to balance out the challenges of software engineering. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

As a software engineer, I am fascinated by all kinds of software engineering and have experience in various areas. From building servers to working on machine learning projects, to manipulating images, creating efficient backend solutions for users, and even developing games such as visual novels and RPG's. I love the creativity and problem-solving that comes with developing software and am always excited to learn new things.

Machine Learning

I have a strong interest in machine learning, which I developed through both academic coursework and personal projects. Using machine learning algorithms, I worked on a personal project that recommended Vocaloid songs based on my preferences.

Software Engineering

At Optum, I have primarily focused on the backend of applications, where I have honed my skills in C#, Java, and Python. As a backend software engineer I've worked on APIs and built microservices, I enjoy the challenge of creating efficient and effective solutions that meet the needs of users.

Server Administraion

I have experience managing a personal home server running Truenas Core for file sharing and a Plex media server. This has allowed me to become proficient in using SSH and command line editors for configuration and maintenance. This has also allowed me to learn more about certificates and DNS for secure connections and custom domain names.
