What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can leverage my skills in full-stack development and contribute to innovative projects while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a dedicated full-stack developer with a strong foundation in various programming languages and frameworks. My experience includes leading the development of a Java-based SOAP proxy service and creating scalable back-end services using FastAPI and Flask. I thrive on building innovative solutions, such as an AI-powered resume analysis tool that integrates OpenAI API, showcasing my ability to leverage modern technologies for impactful results.

In my role as a Computer Science Mentor, I guided over 30 students through the intricacies of Python programming, emphasizing best practices and project development. My experience at Bluegrass Supply Chain involved designing Python-based data solutions and developing APIs that streamlined operations for a team of accountants. I am passionate about continuous learning and contributing to projects that push the boundaries of technology.
