Software Engineer specializing in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
United StatesI'm a dedicated Software Engineer with 2 years of professional experience, specializing in developing full-stack web applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. My journey into software engineering began after a disciplined 4-year military career, where I honed my leadership and problem-solving skills. This unique background has equipped me with the ability to rapidly master new technologies and deliver robust, user-centric solutions.
At Zyxware Technologies, I played a pivotal role in developing and maintaining large-scale Department of Labor web applications. I led a successful migration of a critical application from React v15 to v18, significantly improving performance and enabling the use of modern React features. My commitment to excellence is evident in my ability to independently design and implement user-facing features that streamline workflows and enhance user experience.
In addition to my professional experience, I have engaged in extensive self-study and project-based learning, which has solidified my technical skills. I am eager to contribute to innovative projects at a forward-thinking organization, where I can leverage my expertise and continue to grow as a developer.
