I am an innovative software engineer focused towards developing applications that solve real world problems. It is important as a software engineer to automate a lot of repetitive tasks. Optimizing our day to day tasks allows us to spend more time on the things that matter the most to us.

On my free time I find myself writing web applications, and learning new technologies. Some of the tools that I love to work with include Javascript, React, Node.js, Express, HTML/CSS, Postgres, MongoDB/Mongoose.js, Git, Webpack, Docker, Redis, Redux, Cassandra and many more. 

The best part about being a software engineer is that I can share my constructs with my friends and family. Whether it be deploying an app, or simply just writing up something from scratch.
