About
Passionate about leveraging technology to drive innovation and solve complex problems, I am a results-oriented software engineer with a diverse background. My experiences have equipped me with a robust skill set and a track record of delivering impactful solutions in any environment -- from full stack cloud development to aerospace R&D. I am seeking a full-time software engineering position where I can continue to grow and make a difference.
Recent experience centers on full stack web development, with a focus on AWS, React, and Node. I have a strong foundation in computer science and am comfortable with a variety of languages and frameworks. I am a quick learner and a team player, and I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and help others.
I love photography and video production, and have done a lot of freelance work. I've managed a technical Minecraft server since 2017. My dog's name is Yuuki.
