I am a passionate software engineer with over 5 years of experience working in every capacity of the software development lifecycle. Specializing in Full Stack Development, I’ve gathered requirements, architected solutions, implemented code, curated tests and managed the release and updates of various products and tools. I’ve learned that I excel in working at the forefront of technology, providing my skills to help create new solutions and integrations where none existed before. I value gathering all the relevant context and requirements for a project, consistent communication, managing expectations and proper documentation and project management. This ensures that my software delivery can be as robust as possible while also maintaining efficiency during the development process.
