I am a Software Engineer with a strong understanding of Ruby on Rails and Python with Django for Application Development. I am actively pursuing certifications from CompTIA to facilitate a more well rounded understanding of Networking, and Security when it comes to software engineering. With over 10 years of service and education-oriented experience, I bring a broad wealth of knowledge and host of soft-skills to complement any team focused environment. I'm personally interested in contributing to a collaborative team that is grounded in values such as effective communication, critical analysis, and camaraderie. Fueled by a passion and education in Political Science, I believe in the transformative power of collective effort to build stronger communities, and a better tomorrow. Because of this, my proactive approach to team success involves constant outreach, ensuring a thriving workplace. If a team member doesn't understand something, I take the initiative and time to find resources and personally assist with their understanding. As a dedicated learner myself, I'm always seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth. I am currently exploring opportunities to further expand my skill set by teaching myself security best practices and networking concepts that will help me and my future teams succeed.I thrive in environments that prioritize communication and camaraderie. I'm known for my adaptability to changing circumstances and dedication to the projects I undertake. If my profile resonates with your team's values, I welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss potential collaborations. Don't hesitate to get in touch! I’m looking forward to exploring how we can work together to contribute to your success.
