Designing systems. Building solutions. Architecting the future.

After years of leading teams and solving complex problems in customer service and project management, I made the decision to pursue a degree in Software Design — graduating with a 3.93 GPA and Dean's List recognition every semester — to give my three kids a better future and show them that dreams are worth chasing at any age. That same drive brought me to full-stack development, where I combine strong technical skills with the communication and problem-solving abilities I've spent years sharpening in high-pressure environments. I build real things that work — from containerized microservices architectures to AI-powered inventory systems — and I'm just getting started.

LET'S BUILD

I'm actively seeking junior developer roles and opportunities where AI-first development is valued. If you're looking for someone who can ship real systems fast, bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams, and bring genuine grit to the work — let's talk.

Particularly interested in roles involving agentic development, full-stack Java and React, or AI-integrated applications. Open to relocation for the right opportunity.
