Senior Full-Stack Engineer with Backend Focus and 10+ years experience.
What I'm looking for
As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in backend development, REST APIs, and cloud infrastructure. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, such as reducing marketing analytics tool costs by 60% at Trust and Will and leading a team to implement a new logging system that saved $10K monthly. I thrive on challenges and continuously seek to improve code architecture and deployment processes, evidenced by my work at Kasa Living, where I spearheaded improvements that resulted in 50% faster deployment times.
Currently, I am the Founder and Principal Developer at Funky Goblin Software, LLC, where I engineered a personal productivity application that rivals industry leaders like Notion and Clickup. My technical expertise extends to integrating advanced technologies, such as the OpenAI API, to enhance user experience through automation and natural language interfaces. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative team environment, as demonstrated in my previous roles where I instituted Agile processes and conducted security audits.
