Engineering Prowess
I’ve often been the “first engineer” on a project. Spinning up servers, creating project folders and launching http://localhost:<PORT>. I enjoy the process and each project is a challenge to myself to create something bigger, better, more efficient and more scalable than the last.
Design Direction
I have always been able to express myself with the visual arts. Sketching, painting, Photoshop. The mixture of these design elements with DEEP knowledge of software architecture and implementation is a very good balance which I possess. I have designed NFTs, food packaging, database systems and many other early projects. I have sat and sent iterations of User Interfaces to customers, friends and family in order to get feedback and improve User Experience as a whole.
Education
Northeastern has a strongly backed Computer Science program and Boston has been a technologically progressive city for a long time. It was a great decision to go to college in such a city at such a time. While I was in Boston, I had the privilege of working with the mHealth Research Team twice; once as an Android Developer and once as an iOS developer.
