Professional Bio
As a Software Architect, I have a passion for great software and user interfaces. I take pride in writing code that is well-documented and designed. I have over 10 years of experience, most recently focusing on designing and implementing full-stack applications using node.js, React.js, Mongo, and Elasticsearch. Prior to FullStack, I worked as a software engineer in various roles at UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and MIT. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in computer science from California State University of Sacramento.
