Full Stack Software Developer building scalable, cloud-ready web applications and RESTful APIs.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build high-quality, cloud-ready web applications—translating requirements into scalable RESTful APIs and reliable databases—while collaborating in an Agile team and growing through real engineering ownership.

I’m a Full Stack Software Developer experienced in building scalable web applications and supporting enterprise software implementations. I translate business requirements into efficient digital solutions while following modern engineering practices like Agile, Git version control, and modular architecture.

I work across the stack—designing RESTful APIs and relational databases, and delivering responsive frontends. My strengths include JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, Flutter, Node.js, NestJS, PHP, and Laravel, with database design using PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.

In projects, I’ve led a team of four developers to build a health data dashboard prototype and helped achieve Second Runners Up at a Health IT Hackathon. I’ve also built full-stack applications for the Teach2Give program and implemented enterprise systems support, including onboarding, troubleshooting, and user training.

Professionally, I’ve progressed from software development and implementation support roles to hands-on collaboration in team-based coding projects. I’m motivated by building high-quality cloud-ready applications and working with distributed engineering teams to deliver reliable outcomes.
