Overview

My experience building full-stack applications includes dozens of different paradigms and technology stacks, from Laravel and Django to AWS and React Native.

I've been building software professionally for 6 years, each project increasing in complexity and sophistication. I've been writing code for 11 years.

In the last year, I've written over 500k lines of code implementing dozens of features and hundreds of bug-fixes, primarily in React / Redux codebases.
