I'm a generalist software developer with 2-3 years of experience, and I am actively looking for a new position. I've worked with Python for scripts and Django API back-ends, Java Spring for micro-services and Minecraft mods, C# .NET for micro-service back-ends, and React. I switch between languages a lot depending on the problem domain, and have dabbled, to a small degree, in a bunch of other languages such as Haskell, Rust, and Go.

For those who value it, I am currently studying for the AWS solution architect - associate certification.

Staff+ Engineer with a backend and distributed systems focus. I love to build teams, orgs, and products with care. Have dabbled in a little bit of everything from microcontrollers to huge cross-cloud applications. I lean a little towards devops and though I haven't ever been an SRE/DevOps specialist, leaning that way has been a superpower for building products and platform tools.

I'm an junior middleware/backend dev with 4 years of experience, mainly doing middleware python servers and C++ hardware controllers. I've done lots of gitlab automations to save our developers time and effort in building and deploying our software regularly and reliably.

I've grown as much as I can at my current job and am looking for somewhere I can continue to hone my skills. I'd love to branch out and do some embedded development, with a long-term goal of getting into green infrastructure (renewable energy or agriculture, hopefully).
