Professional Journey

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 9 years of professional experience building scalable web applications across enterprise and startup environments. My career has spanned financial services, insurance, and construction technology, giving me versatility in adapting to different business domains and technical challenges.

Technical Focus

I specialize in .NET with C# for backend development paired with modern frontend frameworks like React. My work emphasizes creating accessible, user-friendly interfaces while maintaining robust server-side architecture. I'm particularly passionate about UI/UX design and ensuring applications meet modern accessibility standards.

Beyond the Code

I've served as a go-to resource for frontend development on my teams, mentored junior developers, and contributed to architectural decisions. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can balance hands-on coding with technical leadership. I also actively leverage AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot to accelerate development and problem-solving—these technologies have fundamentally changed how I approach software engineering.

Background

Before transitioning to software engineering full-time, I earned a Full Stack Software Engineering Certificate from Prime Digital Academy (2017) and hold a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Minnesota with a minor in Computer Science.
