Hello! I'm a Software Engineer and Full Stack Developer. I'm most confident working with React and modern (ES6) JavaScript, but I'm also proficient in Python, Java, and C. I know my way around the Linux command line, cloud providers such as both AWS and GCP, and I've worked across all parts of the stack, including setting up cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. I've worked at a variety of companies including a large corporation (AWS) and a startup, and I'm just as comfortable working quickly as I am working carefully.
