My primary motivation for joining the tech industry is my fascination with creating. I've always enjoyed creating with my hands, but as I'm getting older I want to utilize my mind more than my body in order to create something new. I’m a team oriented, analytically-minded software engineer who thinks outside of the box. I focus on the users of the software, their experience, and the over all impact that development decisions could have on the team, and the company in order to deliver the best product possible. In my former life as a Property Person, adapt or die was the motto. You had to constantly think on your feet. Even though the day-to-day was similar, the where, the how, and the why was always different. In order to be successful you needed to have expert problem-solving skills and time management. Now, I’m leveraging this strength to adapt to new languages, databases, and tools that I use as a software engineer. Technical Skills: Python 3, JavaScript ES6+, Typescript, SQL, HTML5, CSS, Tailwind, DOM manipulation, WebSockets, React, React Hooks, ReactJS, Redux Toolkit, Django 4, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, FastAPI, RabbitMQ, Microservices, Domain-driven design, Message passing, Event sourcing.When I'm not working, you can usually find me gaming online with my friends or at the gym trying to reach a new physical limit.
