Résumé

About Me

I am a Software Engineer specializing in backend development, although I also have extensive experience across the full stack.


I received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering before starting my career as a Solutions Engineer for commercial heat transfer and HVAC equipment. My interest in startups and the software industry led me to Silicon Valley where I gained experience selling enterprise software products to engineering customers. I was fortunate to work closely with my engineering colleagues and learn about the software development process.


My passion for engineering and curiosity to learn everything about building software products led me to enroll in the Full Stack Web Development program at BloomTeck (formerly Lambda School, where I developed skills building full-stack production web applications using the latest industry tools and best practices.


I focus on providing excellent user experiences by integrating all elements of the software stack. You can check out some of my projects below, and if you're interested in working together I'd love to connect!

  • Manage your tools; update details and price, toggle availability, and block dates when you don't want them rented
  • Find tools to rent in your city and filter by price and keyword
  • Reserve tools to rent using a date range picker
  • Live messaging between owners and renters (using Firestore Cloud Storage realtime database)
  • Dashboard for managing rentals and tracking status
