Summary
10+ years crafting software solutions!
Bash/Zsh shell-scripting, automating, Vim-loving, Git-using, Java-developing, Macbook-toting code junkie.
Spent the last 10 years building robust, efficient, enterprise applications, soaking in new tools and technologies, and interfacing with customers to deliver tailored, targeted products and services.
Mostly backend experience (.NET MVC and Spring Boot), with limited Web/frontend development on ASP.NET and React, eager to expand to more full-stack development and cloud-computing.
Seeking an environment where fellow devs take the same pride and invest the same energy in the art, science, craft, and thrill of software engineering!
