Result-driven software engineer with a passion for problem solving and contributing to the software development lifecycle. My most recent position was on the frontend engineering team at Blockchains, a startup building powerful Web3 digital-identity based software. My contributions to the company's software included bug fixes, implementing report functionality, building out UI, developing a creator toolkit for users to mint NFTs, and much more. I also took time to improve communications to optimize collaboration across cross-functional teams by revamping sprint planning meetings and maintaining software documentation. I strive to help companies succeed in all aspects that my role touches and am continuously driven by my desire for learning and growth. My goal is to become a valued member of a company that makes quality applications that help to improve the world.
