About
I am a motivated software engineer with over three years of full-stack experience, thriving in Agile environments where I deliver end-to-end features from design through deployment. I specialize in scalable application development, workflow optimization, and fostering collaboration across teams. I am passionate about problem-solving, taking ownership of tasks, and mentoring others in technical best practices.
Currently, I teach programming and game development at Algonquin College, helping students become industry-ready by connecting academic learning with real-world practices. Previously, I have upgraded legacy client systems, developed asynchronous workflows, built API integrations, authored technical documentation, and led QA efforts, all aimed at improving software usability and client satisfaction.
