I'm a software engineer with a background spanning 20 years in customer service and technical operations, including five years supporting process optimization in high-precision manufacturing environments. I apply my engineering mindset and self-taught programming foundation, refined through formal full-stack training, to build clean, scalable applications using tools like React, Flask, SQLAlchemy, RESTful APIs, and CI/CD pipelines. Known for thriving in high-stakes, team-driven settings, I bring strong communication, analytical problem-solving, and a bias for action to every technical challenge. I successfully transitioned from a manufacturing process engineering technician to a full stack software engineer through a rigorous apprenticeship, where I developed projects demonstrating proficiency in frontend and backend technologies. I am eager to tackle real-world problems through coding and collaboration.
