Highly skilled and results-driven technology professional with 12+ years of experience in support, analysis, backend, and frontend development. Proven ability to lead projects, mentor colleagues, and deliver high-quality, scalable code. Skilled in troubleshooting, debugging, and enhancing codebases to improve maintainability and implement new features. Incredibly adept at solving difficult technological problems and being able to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Excels at communicating with stakeholders to define requirements, manage expectations, and ensure project success. 

I am a highly experienced Software Engineer with over 12 years in full-stack development, specializing in scalable solutions across Windows and Linux environments. I excel at leading projects, mentoring junior developers, and delivering high-quality code. My expertise spans a broad technical stack, including extensive experience with Angular (2-19) for the frontend , and C# ASP.NET Core, Node.js, and Golang for backend microservices and RESTful APIs. I am proficient with databases such as MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB , and utilize modern DevOps practices with AWS Lambda, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins. My core strength lies in optimizing existing codebases for reusability and maintainability, having reduced one codebase size by 30% , and ensuring project success by clearly communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

My professional career highlights include multiple tenures at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, where I was instrumental in refactoring and enhancing the Loan Origination System, leading the incremental upgrade of Angular versions (5 through 15) , and developing critical applications like an MFA system. I also served as a Principal Engineer at Send My Bottle, where I designed and deployed a microservice-based automated payment and shipping system using Golang and Docker. Earlier experience at ITS Logistics allowed me to lead the overhaul of data warehousing and shipping processes, where I integrated systems using both WPF .NET and a Django web application. These roles demonstrate my proven ability to lead company-wide technical initiatives , manage offshore resources , and consistently exceed deadlines in Agile/Scrum environments.

My most relevant education provides a strong foundation for my software engineering career, blending advanced studies in database technology and computer science with essential certifications. I earned a Master of Science in Database Technologies from Regis University in Denver, CO, in May 2012, which equipped me with deep knowledge of database design, optimization, and management—crucial skills for full-stack development. Complementing this, I received a Certificate in Computer Science - Web Programming from Sierra College in May 2010. Furthermore, I pursued several CompTIA Certifications (A+, Server+, Network+, Security+) in 2010, demonstrating a commitment to understanding core infrastructure and security principles, which directly supports my work in secure application development and DevOps practices.
