With over 15 years of experience as a software engineer, I specialize in designing and developing complex software systems that deliver high-quality solutions. Proficient in JavaScript, Node.js, React, PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS, and Linux, I have a proven track record of creating robust web applications and back-end APIs. My experience ranges from leading IT initiatives as the IT Director at Wellington Collegiate Academy—where I enhanced their digital infrastructure and web presence—to developing back-end services deployed on Google Cloud Services at FileShadow Inc. I'm passionate about problem-solving and continuously staying up-to-date with the latest technologies. Beyond software development, my general handyman and CAD design skills reflect a practical understanding of real-world applications, enabling me to bring a well-rounded perspective to every project I undertake.
