What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role building user-focused web apps with modern JS stacks, growth opportunities, and a product-driven team culture.

I am a full-stack software engineer with over three years of experience specializing in React, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Node.js/Express with Python/Django backend development. I build user-centered web applications and REST APIs with a strong emphasis on data integrity and deployment.

I led development on projects such as RevolutRecap and BudgetWarden, collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver features that generate spending summaries and help users regain control of their finances. I contributed to measurable improvements in product outcomes and user engagement.

As a web development instructor and course developer, I created interactive modules and real-world projects that improved student success rates and bolstered graduates' GitHub portfolios. I have experience designing, developing, and maintaining production websites and online learning materials.

I bring strong communication, analytical skills, and a collaborative mindset to every project, with hands-on experience in testing, deployment, SEO best practices, and using tools like Git, VSCode, and Heroku to ship reliable software.
