About Me

I am currently working as a software engineer. I have worked with clients in a diverse range of industries to provide them with both modern and accessible full stack applications. As a engineer I have project experience working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/Typescript, Node.js, Express.js, React, Svelte, GSAP, MySQL, MongoDB, various AWS products and a number of CSS frameworks. Every project that I have worked on has provided opportunities to further hone these skills and learn new ones in pursuit of better development and final products.

My education was not originally in software development or computer science at all, but rather, in mechanical engineering. As a mechanical engineer I earned a MSME with an emphasis in thermofluids. I have several years of research experience devising and conducting tests for NASA as part of their spacecraft fire safety programs. I conducted novel self-directed research with infrared cameras, infrared thermography, and other optical techniques. Throughout my research I used MATLAB extensively as a scripting language for data and image analysis and control systems programming. My experience and education has taught me to be a strong analytical problem solver and I am always open and excited to learn new languages, technologies, and skills.
