I'm a software engineer with expertise in full-stack web development, currently broadening my horizons into embedded software. My diverse experience, ranging from innocative startups to established enterprises, has equipped me with the skills to tackle complex challenges and perservere. Being a team player at heart, I thrive in collaborative environments, bringing strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality work. Additionally, I genuinely love what I do. Coming from the service industry, I’ve developed exceptional interpersonal and time-management skills, which enhance my ability to lead teams and drive results under pressure. My journey from retail, scheduling, and bartending to software engineering is a testament to my resilience and dedication, fueling my passion for tackling complex challenges and creating meaningful solutions.
I'm seeking a full-time software engineering role where I can apply my expertise in full-stack development while continuing to expand my knowledge in embedded software. I am particularly excited about opportunities that allow me to bridge my current skills with the challenges of embedded systems. As someone who thrives on learning and adaptability, I am actively building my expertise in ebedded technologies to complement my existing software engineering foundation. I am eager to contribute to a team where I can grow, innovate, and deliver impactful solutions, whether in full-stack or embedded software.
Professional JourneyMy most recent and present experience in software has been as a freelance software engineer. A project I am currently working on is with The Turn, a golf simulation company. They needed a website that would equip them with advertisement, booking, and payment processing for their company. I tackled this project using Nextjs, PostgreSQL, Redux, Sass, Prisma, NextAuth, etc. I look forward to deploying it in the next few months to share with the world.
In my previous experience as a full-stack software engineer at Cisco Meraki, I have been challenged and have developed a new confidence in the work I do. I worked on an internal design system at Cisco which was used by developers company-wide. I was in this position for about 11 months as a result of being extended twice leading to when I decided to resign in search for full-time opportunities. The highlight of my experience at Cisco was working on an agile team of developers, attending offsites, and most importantly, learning to write better code and make more meaningful contributions.
At App Academy, I was a teaching assistant, mentoring hundreds of students in a highly structures three-week curriculum focused on foundational data structures in Javascript. I provided in-depth instruction on topics such as closures, threading, the call stack and message queue, graphs, heaps, linked lists, and more. In additional to technical teaching, I frequently assisted students with debugging operating system issues to ensure their development environments were correctly configured. Repeatedly teaching these concepts deepend my master of JavaScript and enhanced my ability to explain complex programming concepts clearly. This experience sharpened my debugging skills across multiple languages and environemnts, enabling me to identify and resolve a wide range of technical issues efficiently.
