Summary

I'm a Lead Software Engineer with 17+ years of experience in responsive software applications, DevOps, and CI/CD pipelines. My passion for mentoring and growing engineers drives me to share my expertise in Software Configuration Management, product design, software reliability, and quality assurance. As a Code Mentor, I'm excited to empower a diverse audience on their programming journey, enabling them to become active and vital team contributors.

I'm a generalist, and I've worked on many different stacks, frontend, backend, and full stack. I always say, "Put me where you need me." Problem-solving is a software engineer's best tool, and programming is sometimes the solution.

With 10+ years of pair programming experience, I'm confident we can work together to solve anything.

I have professional experience in the following technologies:

  • Go (7y)
  • CI/CD
  • Ruby on Rails (10y)
  • Javascript (10y),
  • Typescript (2y)
  • NodeJS(5y),
  • Test Driven Development (TDD)
  • IAASes: AWS, GCP, Azure
  • PostgreSQL and SQLite
