About Me Projects

About me 🙂

I'm a software engineer, currently working at Amazon on the AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) Replication team. Prior to this I designed, built, and maintained the Shadow testing infrastructure at Qualtrics. Through this, I had the experience to design scalable services in Golang, organize cross-team collaborations, and develop strong maintainable and extendable coding techniques. Outside of keeping up on the latest tech and financial news, I like ultimate frisbee, the North West in the Fall, and lagers.

Programming

Python  |  JavaScript  |  Golang  |  C++

I have 5 years of programming experience. In that time, I've used a range of languages including Python, JavaScript, C++, and most recently GoLang.

Web

Flask  |  Node.JS  |  React.JS  |  Postgres

Through side projects and professional work, I've had the opportunity to explore numerous tools in which to create web applications and backend services.
