Cole Bush

I am a backend API and software developer with a strong foundation in C and C++ and nearly a decade of hands-on programming experience. I focus on building robust backend systems and APIs that solve real business problems.

I have created payment-processing and tax-calculation APIs, implemented system conversions and data transfers, and built database-driven applications. I also developed a C++ video game, imitated a bash shell with file handling, and implemented client-server TCP/UDP data transfer solutions.

My experience spans backend development, REST API design, database management, Linux system administration, Qt-based C++ GUIs, and agile web development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, PHP, jQuery, and Bootstrap. I have served in both hands-on engineering roles and as a CTO/Full Stack developer, giving me technical depth and leadership perspective.

I am a quick learner and collaborative problem-solver who delivers reliable, maintainable software. I seek roles where I can focus on API and backend engineering, contribute to system architecture, and mentor teammates while continuing to grow technically.
