About me
I'm a software engineer with a strong background in both art and technology. I've spent over a year and a half at Empora Title, where I played a pivotal role on the UX/Automation team. I worked on implementing features for both their internal and external applications, handling everything from frontend to backend using technologies like Docker, Sidekiq, Rails, and EmberJS.
In addition to my technical expertise, I've had a diverse career journey. As a freelance artist and web developer, I leveraged my creative skills to design and produce products for clients while helping fellow artists build cost-effective web portfolios using HTML5, CSS, and backend technologies like Rails and PHP.
Before that, I gained valuable experience through internships at Workiva and MREA Business Plan. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a focus on software development and mathematics from Metropolitan State University of Denver where I won an achievement of best working interpreter / programming language called Rowdy.
I also attended the Turing School of Software & Design, where I honed my backend development skills in SaaS projects and even won second place in a demo competition judged by Microsoft and Charter Communications for a web app called Drink This.
Overall, my diverse experiences, technical skills, and creative background make me a versatile and resourceful team member who is passionate about solving complex problems and contributing to innovative projects.

Allows users add friends, create movie/viewing parties and invite friends. The application uses TmDB API to find movies to watch. This was mostly a backend project but with some frontend work to display how it would function for any frontend.
This was a challenging project to consume multiple api endpoints and learned more about project collaboration with another developer
Rowdy
Rowdy
Tools Used
Rowdy is an interpreted object oriented scripting language developed in Java that is dynamically typed.
This project was challenging as it really stretched my knowledge of the principals of programming languages as well as having a strong understanding of computing theory.
