About me
I'm a product-minded software engineer with over 8 years of experience that is open to new opportunities. Experience across the stack with JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and Java. I have a strong preference for full-stack or frontend leaning roles. I'm currently located in the US and looking to relocate to the Berlin area. My German is rapidly improving, but at this time I'm only open to English-speaking companies.

Responsible for the full stack of our Meeting Request Form product. I primarily work with React/Redux on the front end and Java/Dropwizard on the back end. Additionally, I maintain and add features to a large, legacy C# project that heavily relies on stored procedures. Lately, I've been developing a greenfield project written in TypeScript with React/Reux and Immer. The service has a thin Java backend to integrate with a service that utilizes AWS Lambdas.

Surgery Recovery
n/a
Unfortunately, I needed a little more time to diagnose and surgically repair a broken foot than I was able to take off from work. I spent the time I was able to code focusing on strengthening my front end skills, especially with React.
