Colin Placke

As a seasoned Senior Developer with over 8 years of experience in Healthcare Technology at Optum Technology, I have gained extensive knowledge in full stack and enterprise development. With a hunger for new challenges, I am now seeking to broaden my horizons outside of the healthcare industry and explore exciting opportunities in the intersection of my greatest passions.
