About Me

I’m a self-driven, full-stack developer with a unique mix of technical fluency, sales experience, and creative leadership. After nearly a decade in financial services, hospitality, and design, I pivoted into software development, dedicating thousands of hours to mastering full-stack engineering. Since then, I’ve shipped features for production-level applications, mentored junior developers, and built projects of my own from the ground up.

What sets me apart is the ability to translate between worlds: I can break down complex technical problems for non-technical stakeholders, or frame business objectives into clear, actionable solutions for engineering teams. In past roles I’ve built systems that reduced errors and boosted customer satisfaction, developed client relationships in regulated industries, and launched tools that streamlined internal operations. Whether coding, leading, or selling, I focus on results that serve people first.

Grounded in values of grit, adaptability, and community, I thrive where innovation meets impact. I’m eager to collaborate with people and teams who value growth and meaningful outcomes — whether that means winning clients, shipping code, or building solutions that last.

Technical Expertise

Languages, Libraries, Frameworks, & Database Management

Frontend

My frontend expertise focuses on creating responsive, user-centric web applications that adapt seamlessly across all devices. Using modern frameworks like Angular, React, and Next.js, combined with TypeScript for type safety, I build scalable applications with component-based architectures. My styling approach leverages Tailwind CSS and Material-UI for rapid development, alongside custom CSS3 for pixel-perfect designs, ensuring optimal performance and accessibility across desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms.

Backend

I leverage modern, high-performance backend technologies to build robust and scalable server-side applications. Python with Django provides rapid development and built-in security features, while FastAPI offers cutting-edge async capabilities for high-throughput APIs. My NodeJS expertise enables full-stack JavaScript development, allowing for seamless integration between frontend and backend. Each framework choice is driven by project requirements, emphasizing maintainability, performance, and developer experience.

Database Management

My database expertise spans both SQL and NoSQL paradigms, making me highly versatile in data architecture decisions. With PostgreSQL, I design normalized relational schemas for complex data relationships and ACID compliance. Using Firestore, I architect flexible, schema-less NoSQL documents for real-time applications and rapid scaling. This dual proficiency allows me to select the optimal database strategy based on specific application needs, from structured enterprise data to dynamic, evolving content.

Tools

I utilize modern development tools with expansive potential to streamline workflows and enhance productivity. Firebase provides comprehensive cloud infrastructure for rapid deployment and real-time features. Zustand enables lightweight, flexible state management for React applications. Stripe integration powers secure payment processing and e-commerce functionality. Docker ensures consistent environments across development, testing, and production. GitHub facilitates collaborative development with advanced CI/CD pipelines. My toolchain choices prioritize automation, scalability, and team collaboration, enabling efficient delivery of high-quality software solutions.

Design

Drawing from my graphic design background, I bridge the gap between technical implementation and user experience. Figma enables collaborative design systems and prototyping, while Photoshop provides advanced image manipulation and asset creation capabilities. This design foundation allows me to not only implement designs accurately but also contribute meaningfully to UX/UI decisions, ensuring that technical solutions align with user needs and aesthetic principles.
