Software Engineer
About Me

I am a seasoned software engineer with over 10 years of experience in creating web applications and delivering innovative solutions for clients. My passion lies in enhancing user experience and driving efficiency through technology.

One of my proudest achievements was receiving an innovation award for transforming a massive technical diagram book into a fully searchable offline resource for mechanical engineers. This initiative enabled crucial support for A-10 aircraft maintenance, allowing Air Force crew to diagnose and repair aircraft without needing internet access - an impressive feat given the scale of nearly 1000 diagrams involved. With my innovation and design I successfully attracted more users to this web application in six months than the previous five years combined.

I was hired for these projects in February 2020, only working in person just 1 month before the onset of Covid 19. I have thrived in remote work, developing strong collaboration and communication skills while coordinating across multiple teams with minimal in-person meetings. I am committed to reliability and performance in independent work settings, making remote work an ideal fit for my skills and preferences.

I look forward to contributing to exciting projects within dynamic teams, leveraging my expertise to create meaningful impact.
