About Me

I'm constantly learning new ways to help improve systems and companies I work with.

Professional Summary

I have made Inventory Systems, Production Management and Tracking Systems, and built infrastructure with existing tools from the ground up to help companies and organization succeed. I have learned a lot of my most useful skills figuring out how to fix something that didn't have a easy solution.

This is mentioned in my Experience section below but I was tasked with helping to make up for the loss of a manager to help track production metrics. When using the system the way it was created (using sticky notes and a shared Excel spreadsheet), I was pushed to make improvements to the system slowly to help improve the experience for others. When a deadline for funding was approaching, I made a Full Stack App to help create a easier record keeping system but also to produce stylistically consistent and professional charts and dashboards to help communicate to our investors our needs.

This is the value I bring to the people I work with. I listen and tailor my goals around the needs of the end user and when something is hard to figure out, I strive to smooth out that process and find all the issues that that seem to hard to tackle.

Skills and Expertise

Expertise

My experience is mainly in Full Stack Development with a focus on the Backend. I have created plenty of Front Ends, but my focus is mainly on Backend Development and API systems, connecting legacy systems and making them easier for the user-base to interface with needed systems to accomplish their goals. In the effort to make these systems easiest to use, I have gain experience in DevOps, Systems Engineering / Systems Administration. I have used Linux and tools like NGINX, Gunicorn and Docker to make sure that the systems are as effortless and easy to adjust to for the end-user.

Indie Web

Being part of a community that overlaps with my skills and interests is a no brainer. I enjoy the conversations and inspiration I get from indie web and the skills that I have learned translate to stuff like Email Development. The nostalgia also plays a part, keeping me in a great perspective to best consider others points of view in my day to day.
