Full-Stack software engineer experienced in Cloud Native development seeking teams with a shared passion for growth, excellence, collaboration, and community.
We provide books and other reading materials to incarcerated individuals in North Carolina and Alabama facilities with limited library resources. As a full stack software engineer, my role is in developing BellBooks: an application used for maintaining records of outgoing packages and automating administrative work. This was created to help us eliminate a six-month backlog of requests by removing often repeated clerical tasks that were time-consuming and error-prone to provide a fast, consistent solution. This application features automatic book lookup via scanner, an intuitive package and invoice generation flow, and a simplified process for auditing and modifying existing packages.
I support this project in a full-stack capacity, though my key responsibility is in leading front-end initiatives, which includes evolving the application and incorporating changes uncovered through user interviews as well as driving a re-launch of the front-end SvelteKit, a modern frontend JavaScript framework. I also work with onboarding new independent contributors to the development workflow who are often new to either web development or their engineering career.
