I am a Software Engineer at Packback, a company that provides an online learning platform for higher education.

I have strong skills in TypeScript, Angular, React, Laravel, and ClojureScript, as well as experience in building web-based applications, RESTful APIs, and automation systems.

In my current role, I work on the platform engineering team, developing Packback's Questions, Deep Dives, and Content Library products, which aim to enhance student engagement, curiosity, and critical thinking. I build user interfaces using TypeScript and Angular, write APIs using Laravel and PHP, and perform various types of testing. I also collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and designers, using Agile SCRUM methodology and best practices. I am passionate about creating innovative and intuitive solutions that improve the learning outcomes and experiences of students and instructors. I enjoy working in a dynamic and diverse team that values feedback, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
