Software Engineer with 10 years of experience. I started working as a Full Stack Engineer at EducAide Software while I was in college, building a website to deliver instruction and examination tools to K-12 teachers and students. I also worked on company-wide services for deployment safety and developer efficiency at AWS as an SDE II. I am now working on GraphQL enterprise software as a senior engineer at Apollo GraphQL.

Professional experience with JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Rust, Ruby on Rails, PHP, AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Route53, Cloudformation, Cloudfront, S3, SNS, CDK, ECS, Fargate), MySQL, Vue.js, React.

I am super confident in my frontend and backend skills, and I love doing both! Aside from that, I enjoy bringing efficiency to the workplace by organizing goals in an Agile framework, reducing meeting overhead and mental load for the teams I work with.
