Summary

I am a passionate software engineer who loves to be given a challenge to overcome. Arguably, my strongest skill is my ability to quickly learn new technologies and problem solve issues. My deep understanding of computer science gives me the ability to rapidly adapt to the new frameworks and languages.

I have knowledge and skill in many languages: Go, C++, Java, Javascript, Typescript, Python, and Bash. I prefer TDD, use Git, OOP, functional programming, CI/CD, and data structures and algorithms. I have developed with RDMS, SQL, MongoDB, Node, Express, Angular, and Vue.


Work

Apr '21 — Cur

As an important member of my development team, I helped with the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise process management system. During this process I worked in the ITSM environment (Change Management module), Service Catalog, and Access Management.

My duties included configuring the platform and designing custom programs to solve unique issues specific to the client. As a skilled and knowledgeable member of my team I was routinely called upon to be a problem solver, to use my understanding to assist my collegues, taking on a leadership role and providing strong communication skills.

Implemented an automated system for managing job role details in an intuitive UI saving hundreds of hours of manual effort.

RelaXed Mar '17 — Mar '19

During my time on this open source project I developed and implemented a plugin system to allow for third-party integration of additional functionality. I helped develop and maintain the core architecture of the processing engine.
