Summary
Kelvin Cuesta is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with seven years of experience building full-stack web applications that streamline operations for healthcare and energy startups. He has driven measurable impact—hooking millions on community solar at Arcadia, accelerating cash flow and claims processing for Juniper Behavioral Health, and improving women's healthcare operations and HIPAA safety at Oula. Technically versatile, Kelvin modernizes legacy stacks (Rails → API, React/TypeScript), architects Python/FastAPI backends, and introduced CI-integrated testing and Docker optimizations that cut build times and memory usage dramatically. A liberal arts-trained historian turned engineer, he brings curiosity and product sense to technical problems and has led accessibility and security improvements often overlooked by teams. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex domain constraints (insurance X12 codes, HIPAA) into maintainable, automated systems that deliver business outcomes.
