# Hamilton Hudson > Software Engineer Location: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/hamiltonhudson Software Engineer | Web Developer | Artist. JavaScript, Ruby, Rails, Node.js, Express.js, React/Redux, and Java. If you take one thing away from my bio let it be this: I believe wholeheartedly in the power of technology as a force for good in this world. My goal will always be to contribute to companies with progressive initiatives and meaningful values. A passion for creative problem solving, dynamic user experiences, and intuitive design is what drives me. I'm continuously pushing myself to new levels of understanding in order to create projects of such nature. My time at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities showed me the importance of dedication to one’s craft and the diligence required to become a professional in any field, while my degree in Film and English from UNCW equipped me with the knowledge to deeply analyze visual imagery, the written word, and theoretical concepts. I've been drawn to technology from a young age so transitioning from media to software made natural sense. My sustained interest in creating products and experiences that combine intellectual stimulation with elevated user interaction propels me to see farther, hear better, and be greater. I do not believe in elitism, in god-complexes, in the idea of "saviors". While technology can, of course, be used for detrimental purposes, ultimately, I pursue this lifelong passion as my career because I see its potential as a great unifier. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Unqork Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 | New York, New York, United States ### Solutions Engineer @ Unqork Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 ### Production Support Engineer @ Unqork Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Greater New York City Area ### Software Engineering / Web Development Immersive @ Flatiron School Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Greater New York City Area Full Stack Program ————— PROJECTS: Star-Crossed — Zodiac dating app based on sun sign, gender + gender preference with accepted match chatting. ≫ Structured Rails API backend with self-referencing polymorphic join associations via Active Record ≫ Incorporated Redux with React for frontend state management, distinguished specific JSON data through Rails serializers, and merged Materialize React with custom CSS for responsive UI/UX ≫ Utilized Heroku Zodiac API to compute compatibility algorithm from zodiac sign data analysis ≫ Generated secure user authorization to with jwt-tokens + bcrypt salted hashed passwords ≫ Implemented Web Sockets for direct messaging via Action Cable, cookies, and redis gem Pet Adopter — A combined pet shelters catalog with functionality to favorite/save multiple pet selections before adoption. ≫ Scraped Petfinder API local shelter data to assemble Rails backend API of active pet listings ≫ Programmed React frontend for increased state organization + management, applying Rails serializers to control client-side presentational data ≫ Constructed secure user authorization and API access utilizing dotenv, jwt + bcrypt gems ≫ Adapted Semantic-React with custom CSS to optimize UI/UX + responsive design PolitiGo — Political event lister with mapped NYC locations where “attend” option will add events to a user’s showcase. ≫ Created Rails API backend + JavaScript frontend managing associative data with SQL + Active Record ≫ Leveraged NYC Developer Portal API with citywide data for real-time local events + Google Places API for reactive pinpoints via geolocation of an event’s address ≫ Used dotenv gem to conceal API key; Faker + FFaker gems to build dynamic user seed data ≫ Applied Materialize CDN with custom CSS to augment visuals + responsive design ### Program Coordinator @ Tribeca Film Institute Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Greater New York City Area ⌾ Handled 150+ crew/volunteers and guest inquiries/RSVPS of 100+ VIPs for annual 501(c)(3) non-profit event with 200k attendees ⌾ Supplied admit support to staff, documentation liaison, and on-site assistance across multiple venues and departments ### Copywriter + Creative Consultant @ Freelance Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 ⌾ Contributed original short- and long-form content for lifestyle, health + fitness blogs ⌾ Initialized modern conceptual media programming, scripted and non-scripted, in
