Adam Frederiksen
Software Engineer looking to develop impactful applications to take on difficult challenges.
Hi, I’m Adam! I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with certifications in Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of South Carolina. Currently, I work at CVS Health, where I contribute to full stack development and cloud engineering, building tools that streamline data management and governance, and integrating advanced data workflows. My work includes developing microservices, automating data processes, and optimizing platforms with technologies like Angular, Python, and Google Cloud. Previously, at Publicis Sapient, I specialized in Salesforce Commerce Cloud integrations, creating custom solutions for major retail clients. I also developed APIs and enhanced commerce tools that improved operational efficiency. At the University of South Carolina, I led the development of a computer vision platform for mosquito egg counting and contributed to various research computing projects, including a digital archive streaming platform. I’m always eager to learn and work on impactful applications that improve society. Let’s connect!
