About

Full-stack developer. Mentor. Problem solver. In 2014, I entered the software development workforce as a back-end developer working in C++. Over the next few years, I expanded my skill set to include things such as test-driven development, Linux development, and Java. Over the years, my experience included increasing amounts of front-end work, incorporating technologies such as Typescript, Node.Js, React, and Redux into my repertoire. As my skills grew, I mentored junior and intern developers through creation of back-end services and new front-end interfaces. Today, I am a full-stack developer producing SaaS products that deploy to AWS, striving to produce high-quality, maintainable code backed by automated test suites. I have experience in all segments of the development lifecycle--from inception, to deployment, and maintenance--with a mindful eye for anticipating issues before they arise.
