I'm a Software Engineer with a drive to optimally use all the tools at my disposal. I specialize in building Full-stack JavaScript applications with React and Express. One of my favorite feelings is learning about new technologies and being able to immediately apply them to projects that I'm working on. I love to enrich my technical knowledge; the ever-evolving nature of the tech industry is what initially drew me to the field. Along with my drive to produce efficient applications, I strive to create clean user interfaces with a smooth user experience.

Skills include:

Strong: JavaScript, TypeScript, ES6, ReactJS, Redux, HTML/CSS,  Node.js/Express, NPM, Git, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB/Mongoose,  Webpack.

Experienced: AngularJS, jQuery, MVC Architecture, SOA, AWS, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, Docker.
