About Me

Professional Background

I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building production applications that serve 65K+ annual users. My expertise spans the entire development stack, from crafting responsive frontends with React and TypeScript to architecting robust backends using Spring Boot and microservices.

What sets me apart is my proven ability to take projects from concept to production. I've built and deployed multiple successful web applications, including BinaryDecimal.com (40K+ users) and MemoDiction.com (25K+ users), handling everything from infrastructure setup on AWS to implementing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.

I specialize in modern web technologies and have deep expertise in AI integration, having worked extensively with OpenAI APIs and advanced prompt engineering. I'm equally comfortable diving into DevOps tasks, containerizing applications with Docker, or optimizing database queries in PostgreSQL.

My Journey

My path to becoming a software engineer was sparked by a real-world problem. While working in the medical field, I identified a gap in our workflow and realized I could automate patient confirmations, which ignited my passion for building tools that create efficiency.

I channeled this new-found passion into a formal B.S. in Software Engineering from Western Governors University. My education was hands-on; I dove deep into building full-stack applications, mastering modern frameworks like React and Spring Boot and earning an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification to round out my cloud skills.

I build tools that make a real impact. I developed and launched MemoDiction.com, an AI-powered dictionary, and BinaryDecimal.com, a web toolkit with 17+ utilities. These projects currently serve over 65,000 users annually and validate my ability to see a project from an idea to a full-scale, AI-integrated product. I am now looking for an opportunity to contribute my skills to a team and build solutions that matter.
