I am a Software Engineer focusing on mobile and web development with experience building products from the ground up. I bear accessibility, security, data privacy, and scalability in mind. My proficiency is Full Stack Development for mobile and web applications, often using React/React-Native, Typescript, and various tools to manage state. When it comes to the mobile side, I use native modules wherever possible using Xcode and Android Studio to make sure everything runs smoothly.

My appreciation for software engineering comes from a deep understanding of the lowest level of computer science due to my background in Electrical Engineering. I am multi-faceted with an aptitude for learning complex concepts and deeply understanding how they work. I have worked with a plethora of programming languages and tools, but I seem to stick with JavaScript due to its ability to seamlessly develop multiplatform applications.

I learned much of what I know from college courses, coding bootcamps, online learning, and reading countless lines of documentation and tech articles. I explored different languages, frameworks, and libraries until I could become proficient. By immersing myself I understood how to work through bugs, improve the structure of my work, and build tools alongside other engineers and verticals.
