What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on engineering roles building automation and backend systems, a learning culture, mentorship, and opportunities to solve practical problems.

I am a Python-focused software engineer with hands-on experience building automation tools, GUIs, and backend systems, grounded in a Specialized Associates Degree in IT.

I have developed projects such as a Tkinter/Pygame memory game, a Spotify ad-muting automation using Spotipy, and an autonomous Snapchat snapscore bot leveraging image recognition, and I have applied my skills professionally fixing software bugs and supporting document processing workflows.

I value practical problem-solving, learning in production environments, and delivering reliable automation and tooling that improve user workflows and operational efficiency.
