ABOUT ME.
🏄 a little bit about who i am
I'm a passionate Software Engineer with a diverse range of experiences spanning frontend and full-stack development. Currently, at Intellibridge, I drive innovation on the R&D team, leading the frontend development of Aolytix, an infrastructure visualization tool. My expertise includes building scalable React applications, optimizing performance, and mentoring fellow engineers. Previously, I've worked at startups like Govalo, contributing to Shopify plugins, and built internal tools at Residential Choices that streamlined operations. I'm always excited to take on new challenges, explore cutting-edge technologies, and continue growing as a developer.
RESUME.
🎫 my experiences - condensedSoftware Engineer IIII joined Intellibridge on the R&D team, where I was responsible for implementing features on a new product called Aolytix - an infrastructure visualization tool.

I joined as a junior software engineer, responsible for interfacing with clients and developing new features.Software EngineerOnce I graduated from SNHU, I started working on building a simple webapp in my free time to target some inefficiency I observed in the office. The app quickly gained traction and was adopted by the company. It ran on an Express API connected to a Postgres DB with a React frontend, and was deployed to an on-prem server.IT SupportResidential Choices is a case management agency. While I wore many hats, my primary job description was IT support for the staff. I was a driver for the movement from paper to electronic records in the office.

🔭 stuff i've done outside of workAmazon describes the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner as an entry-level certification. Earners of this certification have a fundamental understanding of IT services and their uses in the AWS Cloud. They demonstrated cloud fluency and foundational AWS knowledge. Badge owners are able to identify essential AWS services necessary to set up AWS-focused projects.Frontend DeveloperThe Bravo13 Hackathon is a DoD-sponsored event, centered around finding use-cases and implementing proof-of-concept projects I was recruited by my company (Intellibridge) to join the team as a frontend engineer. The team had a week to implement, then present, a project that would be judged by a panel of DoD officials.

Feb 2024- Interfaced with the rest of the team on estimating what we could accomplish in a week, given a non-classified dataset
- In the interest of moving fast, the frontend was based off an pre-built repo the company had been using for some time
- Using a combination of React, TypeScript, and Material UI, we implemented a dashboard and map visualization using MapboxGL

🚀 some side projects, to satisfy my curiosity
TODO
It looks like a bunch of my old projects no longer work, and I don't want to just pull them from my last portfolio, so I'm going to have to build this out again.
