What I'm looking for

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

I'm a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in developing and optimizing web applications. Currently, I work at K-Scale Labs, where I have successfully shipped key features for our open-source platform using FastAPI, Python, and React. My contributions have not only enhanced user experience but also led to a full-time role due to my impactful work.

Previously, I served as a Software Engineering Immersive Resident at Galvanize, where I mentored over 50 junior developers and improved an educational platform's efficiency. My commitment to fostering a collaborative learning environment has significantly enhanced student engagement and retention. I thrive on challenges and am always eager to learn and grow in my field.
