Profile: https://flows.cv/delilah

Hello, I’m Delilah, a Software Engineer building full-stack applications with TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. I enjoy developing scalable, user-focused tools and exploring real-time features and intuitive interfaces. Some of those products can be found here: https://github.com/DLopez43. 

Before transitioning into software engineering, I worked in education where I developed strong skills in communication, collaboration, and breaking down complex problems. That experience continues to shape how I approach development, by building thoughtful, accessible solutions that are easy for users to understand and use.

Outside of software, I enjoy restoring retro gaming consoles and exploring the outdoors. I’m currently seeking opportunities as a Software Engineer where I can contribute to meaningful products and continue growing as a developer.
