Resume

Full-stack web developer

As a developer, I place a high priority on constructing well-planned, robust applications that are focused in scope and comprehensively tested. I work best in a collaborative team setting with people of varying skills levels and diverse sets of strengths. I value the success of my teammates and I will go out of my way to make sure we are all growing together.

Personal qualities

Creative

I am often unsatisfied with the status quo, and I try to put my own twist on things when I can. I express my individuality in the software I write and with the tools I use. I like to test out several different styles before settling for a default. I am non-dogmatic and value flexibility of thought over rigid principles.

Life-long learner

I have a voracious curiosity, and I love puzzles. I dive deeply into to the details of any project I work on, and I am not afraid of getting down to the most granular levels of understanding. I invest heavily in my own learning and constantly on the search for the next book or podcast.

Motivated

I enjoy challenging myself, and I am always looking for an environment where there is opportunity for intellectual growth. This mindset ultimately led me to web development as a career. I am passionate about web development and I share my motivation with those surrounding me.

Team-player

I am actively involved in my local community and have experience as a community non-profit board member and organizer. I value working together as part of a larger whole. Much of my free-time is spent volunteering and coordinating events that foster community growth and intersection.

Professional Timeline

Onward and upward

My career direction is always based upon maximizing my growth as a person and increasing my capability to meaningfully contribute to the world. I am looking forward to the next step in this journey!
