Full-stack software engineer blending technical development with marketing insight.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a full-stack software engineer with a distinctive foundation in writing and marketing, which allows me to bridge technical development and business strategy to build user-centered software that aligns with commercial goals. I have formal training from Nashville Software School and a Junior Full Stack Software Developer certificate from E3 Technologies, and I contribute to freelance projects using Next.js, Postgres, and PostGIS.
My hands-on experience includes building single-page applications with React and JavaScript, backend development with Python and Django (including Django REST framework), RESTful API design, and database work with SQLite and Postgres. I bring practical project experience in Scrum environments, version control with Git/GitHub, and product-focused tooling such as VS Code, Postman, and GitHub project boards.
