A software engineer with over five years of professional experience. Tabletop RPG fanatic and a huge foodie. Working hard to create unique solutions and having a blast while doing it!
I started off my career as a front-end software developer. I always enjoyed the challenege of designing an elegant webpage I found myself moving towards the javascript side of front-end development. From there I started playing with new packages, frameworks and the works until I found myself as a full-stack engineer. After being a fullstack for a few years, I then found myself wanting to optmize the back-end of what my APIs were hitting. Ultimently becoming a backend engineer.
I am somebody who can look anywhere and everywhere in the stack for the right solution, and no matter what needs to be done, then execute it.
