Software Engineer - {Frontend Focused}About
I'm a self-driven software engineer, experienced in developing both front-end and back-end sides of applications. After having 5+ years of experience in the industry, I strive to be a stellar member of any development team by using strong communication and collaboration skills along with technical skills.
I view software development as a journey that allows you to touch multiple areas of the industry while refining your core fundamentals as an engineer. During my time in college, I focused on web design and quickly moved into my first professional role utilizing said skills. After a knowledgeable time in fin-tech (my latest role), I decided to return to my original passion with my foot on the gas to acquire more prevalent industry skills.
Recently, I've been working on multiple projects - from responsive design, to a sample e-commerce site, a chatbot, and more! - while being mentored in the React space
