What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my technical skills.

I am a full stack web developer with extensive experience in modern web development technologies. My journey began at Purdue University, where I earned a B.S. in Computer Science, and since then, I have honed my skills across various roles in the tech industry. I thrive in Agile environments, collaborating with teams to build robust applications that meet user needs.

At Contently, I contributed to a collaborative editing environment using Rails, React, and Node.js microservices deployed in AWS. My experience spans multiple programming languages, including Ruby, TypeScript, and JavaScript, and I have worked with various database systems such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create efficient solutions and continuously seek opportunities to learn and grow in my field.
