About

I've been a professional software engineer for 9 years. I understand the importance of building things that are scalable, maintainable, and easy to understand. Most importantly, I understand how to be a part of and how to scale engineering teams. I've worked with many different technologies and languages, but I'm most comfortable with React, Typescript, and Node.js.
