Puzzles are fun! Who doesn't like a good puzzle? Puzzles, especially challenging ones, are something that I look forward to solving. It's a great passion of mine. There's nothing quite like the excitement of learning how to solve a puzzle for the first time. I apply this same excitement in my career as a software engineer. I'm always ready for the challenges that come in my field. Always learning. Always overcoming. I am a fullstack engineer. I have experience developing applications focusing on React & React Native on the front end and building RESTful APIs with Flask, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB on the back end. My most recent experience includes utilizing AWS and GCP. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Rightfoot Jan 2022 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ °Nomad Health Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York City Metropolitan Area - Delivered a time-sensitive SAML SSO integration within 2 months. - Helped onboard >5 new team members and new hires. - Coordinated with internal operations teams on key features to automate time consuming internal processes. - Planned and prioritized initiatives to tackle tech debt, resulting in increased dev velocity and fewer UX bugs - Helped set standards for front-end testing by giving feedback on pull requests - Led grooming sessions to refine requirements, hash out implementation details, and answer open questions, resulting in more accurate estimates of feature complexity and a clearer UX. - Participated in efforts to improve company culture by participating in our Diversity Council, conducting cultural interviews for non-engineering teams, and planning events ### Consulting Software Engineer @ City Morph Studio Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Remote Building React Native applications using AWS Amplify, including managing AWS configuration.
