ABOUT

Hi! I'm an ambitious, entry-level software engineer with a unique background that sets me apart. For the past 16 years, I've been a union electrician, laying the electrical foundations that power businesses and corporations across the country. Just as electrical circuits form the backbone of any modern building, well-structured code forms the backbone of modern businesses.

In both fields, planning is crucial. As an electrician, I had to read and interpret complex blueprints before laying a single wire, ensuring that the final product would meet both safety standards and functional requirements. Similarly, in software engineering, thorough planning and architecture are essential before writing the first line of code.

In the electrical industry, I led teams to complete projects on time and within budget, coordinating with other trades for maximum efficiency. In the tech world, I've also taken on leadership roles, managing back-end development and using version control to minimize conflicts, all while adhering to Agile methodologies.

A year into the pandemic, I decided to pivot. Craving a new challenge and intellectual stimulation, I graduated from App Academy, a hybrid bootcamp in San Francisco, in July 2023. Now, I'm excited to bring my problem-solving skills and leadership experience into the realm of software engineering.
