About

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer specialized in building highly scalable, performant, ADA-compliant, enterprise-level web applications in React, Svelte, AngularJS, TypeScript, and jQuery to support eCommerce businesses, large-scale subscription-based tech platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven microservices powered by OpenAI and similar technologies.

My success as an Engineer lies largely in my robust problem solving skills. I am able to identify, research, and develop practical strategic plans of action to satisfy technical requirements and resolve identifiable bottlenecks/bugs. I am self-driven and self-sufficient in my efforts, and require minimal guidance/direction to complete large, complex, and open-ended tasks where solutions may not be clearly defined.

I articulate and communicate with clarity, and lead collaborative efforts with empathy, genuinity, and consideration. My exceptional writing continues this throughline of effective communication – I create well-written and concise documentation of product features, tooling, and process. These intangibles make me an invaluable asset with regard to project management, knowledge sharing/transfer, and cross-team collaboration.
