What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a passion for developing innovative web applications. Currently, I am working as a Contract Software Engineer at Prairie I.T., where I have successfully developed and maintained RESTful APIs using Express.js hosted on AWS. My role involves resolving complex integration issues and building responsive user interfaces that enhance user engagement.

Prior to this, I completed a Software Engineer Apprenticeship at Nashville Software School, where I honed my skills in object-oriented programming and created single-page applications using JavaScript and React. My commitment to continuous learning is evident in my self-study of front-end fundamentals and data structures through platforms like Udemy and Codecademy. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy tackling challenging problems with effective communication and teamwork.
