My journey of software engineering began in 2018 with Python automation to solve simple data entry issues. Years later, I have fallen in love with solving real problems with software and have been working as a full-stack software engineer for over two years with professional experience developing ERP and business credit systems as well as internal business software. In addition to technical knowledge as a software developer, I am also passionate about growing in skills such as team management, mentorship, product design, and Dev Ops.
Outside of my full-time job, I am a proud husband and father of two. I am also a dedicated member of the local developer community in Wichita, DevICT , and a co-founder of Mesocast.net .
I have four years of remote work experience; however, I have found that I thrive most in highly collaborative environments which are most often facilitated in-office.
