Designer & developer based out of Worcester
With a successful background in television and commercial production, I bring a creative mindset, leadership experience, and strong problem-solving abilities to my current work as a Software Engineer. After completing intensive development bootcamps, I transitioned into tech with a focus on full-stack development and software craftsmanship.
My core strengths lie in Java—its core concepts, libraries, and frameworks (such as Spring Boot)—and I have hands-on experience with RESTful API integration, unit and integration testing (JUnit, Mockito), build tools like Maven and Gradle, and working in agile, test-driven environments. I'm also proficient with Python for scripting and data manipulation.
I’ve deployed applications using AWS services, managed databases with SQL and NoSQL systems, and worked across web development stacks. I’m experienced in Git for version control, and Visual Studio and IntelliJ for development.
I'm passionate about creating clean, maintainable code and building software that delivers real-world value. I'm a fast learner, adaptable, and driven to continuously improve—both myself and the systems I help develop.
