OBJECTIVES

• Advance within the software field, leveraging my expertise, aptitude, and proficiency with a variety of idioms, tools & technologies including JavaScript (ES7, Node.js, AngularJS, React, Bootstrap), C#, Java, HTML5, CSS, SASS, MongoDB, Python (Django), PHP, SQL, AWS (S3), Heroku, Docker, and more.
• Optimize workflow, effectuate implementation of cutting - edge solutions to real- world problems; timely completion of salient milestones / project deliverables, in a CI / CD environment.
• I have long been an avid technologist, from tinkering with Atari and home PCs to exploring BBSes, writing macros for games, etc.
• Throughout school and beyond, I gradually employed many software and design tools, developing skills from web programming in HTML, CSS and PHP, to writing apps with JavaScript and Python.
• As I entered the work force, I became familiar with Mac OS/*nix, Linux, and Windows environments, enjoying a swath of coding paradigms within them, which I began leveraging to contribute value & results to several employers / clients.
• I have worked with many companies from Confidential 500 firms to early stage startups.
• While only there for 4 months, I did help by scaffolding a new application from scratch, on a team of developers working together to replace legacy systems with more user - friendly, intuitive interfaces. Our task was to help ensure more reliable data entry from internal agents submitting new orders, among other aims.
• The application I crafted and contributed for the team s use consisted of a Python/Django backend with a ReactJS and Bootstrap frontend, which did see significant attention with pull requests from fellow developers.
• Currently, I create and deploy my own apps for Confidential platforms, and am engaged in ongoing CS curricula, gaining knowledge from top schools and universities via online materials. I continuously pursue my interest in emerging trends in technology, solving problems with the aid of computation and software.
• Adept with a variety of tools, systems and technology, having created and launched apps from scratch independently, as well as contract engineering work on others code - bases
• Constant, holistic honing of skills, best practices, and knowledge base toward a more effective, versatile, and total grasp of the entire computer science field, in aid of devising more efficient, elegant, robust, stable, and scalable solutions.
