Professional Bio
I have always loved videogames and grew up wanting to develop them. When the time came to pick a career, I picked the closest thing possible and became a software developer. I enjoy building solutions that make clients' lives easier, whether in insurance, education, health care, or any of the other spaces I've worked in. My favorite language is Ruby; after years of developing in PHP and Java, I was impressed with its simplicity and the support of its generous community. I'm driven, focused, and flexible, and I enjoy playing videogames during the week and spending quality time with my family on the weekends.

The app provides insurance quotes, allows users to purchase insurance, and includes a dashboard for users to manage vehicles and drivers.

- Rewrote Imagine Learning, which offers language, literacy, and math programs used by K–12 students and teachers. I migrated the legacy song library to React and mapped all the API endpoints with React Query in a React project to serve as a base for the rest of the team to build upon. The app also utilized Anglar.js and React Context.
