What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic organization where I can contribute to innovative projects and grow my skills.

I am a Full-Stack engineer with over 17 years of experience in design and multimedia production. My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of technical skills and creative insight, allowing me to thrive in both front-end and back-end development. I take pride in my ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams, ensuring that projects not only meet but exceed expectations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various innovative technology projects, including the development of web applications like Decibel, which suggests music based on user moods, and HSA 15, a trivia game web application. My commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in my recent completion of a full-stack coding bootcamp, where I honed my skills in Java and Agile methodologies. I am passionate about leveraging my experience to contribute to dynamic organizations that value creativity and innovation.
