What I'm looking for
I am an experienced senior software engineer with a broad range of strengths and a passion for programming languages and development environments. My attention to detail and ability to work at all levels of software development have allowed me to excel in technical leadership, system architecture, and process improvement. I have extensive experience in backend development, application development, and systems programming, with a strong focus on cloud development using AWS and GCP.
Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and deployed microservices, improved system scalability, and enhanced performance for various applications. My role as a senior software engineer at Daugherty Business Solutions involved leading a self-managed scrum team, where I utilized technologies such as Java, Python, and Kubernetes to deliver high-quality solutions. I also have a strong background in mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative work environment.
In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about continuous improvement and staying up-to-date with industry standards. I thrive on workplace challenges and enjoy streamlining processes to enhance team productivity. I am eager to bring my expertise and enthusiasm for software engineering to a dynamic organization.
