# Joe Tonelli > Software Engineer | Project Manager | Event Producer | Optimist Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/joetonelli I'm an enthusiastic software developer, event producer, project manager, content creator, birdwatcher, licensed marriage officiant, or whatever else you might need me to be! There's no task too small for me to feel above doing, nor am I afraid to plunge headfirst into new challenges. I enjoy motivating others to work together, acting as a supportive, thoughtful, and guiding team lead, and making sure the trains are running on time. I'm happy to make things happen. ## Work Experience ### Full Stack Engineer @ CVS Health Jan 2022 – Present ### Cloud Native Engineer @ Brillio Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 Working with clients to develop event-driven-architecture and cloud native solutions. ### Executive Producer and Festival Director @ Big Toe Productions Jan 2014 – Jan 2021 I made a music festival!
