Industrious full-stack software developer who emphasizes understanding and fulfilling business needs, prioritizes the customer, and seeks to gain and share knowledge at every opportunity. I am an excellent problem solver whose strength is in understanding the root cause of a problem, and then choosing from a wide variety of tools to resolve it. With proficiency in multiple programming languages and frameworks, I am able to think openly and consider multiple solutions before deciding on the best approach. I work directly with all teams involved in the building, testing, and deployment of software - architecture, devops, security, DBAs/DBEs, dependent teams, stakeholders, end users, etc - to deliver a consistent, quality product. In addition to having a low level view of the software as I write it, working with others allows me to see the bigger picture of how my work affects, and is affected by, other projects and processes. With a background as Managing Member of a successful equine services business, I have a realistic perspective on business operations and thoroughly developed teaching and sales skillsets. These experiences, along with my technical experience, brings about a unique combination of valuable skills. I am currently studying information security and ethical hacking, in order to continue broadening my skillset. Each day, I choose to execute with excellence, learn something new, and help others do the same.
