An intuitive Fullstack Engineer with a strong background in troubleshooting, refactoring and improving complex systems.


I began my career with four years of cutting my teeth working in high-stress technical positions, building my diagnostic toolbelt and increasing my deductive skills. With a Web Development Bootcamp from U.C. Berkeley, a number of varying projects, and over a year of experience, I've become a confident Fullstack Engineer with experience in React frontends and Python backends.

Interests

Coming from a technical background I've always enjoyed tinkering with old projects and troubleshooting bugs. I keep a number of hobbies and interests that I rotate depending on the season, like working on personal projects, checking in on the newest features on forums, hiking and camping at national parks or just cruising on my motorcycle. No matter the hobbie, I'm always looking for new ways to improve myself.
