Professional & Educational Experience

Download my Resume Download my Portfolio

I am an Adobe Certified Developer with extensive experience in the arts, and a full-stack developer who aims to bring together both the creative and technical aspects of the Software Design process, to best create a seamless experience. With almost a decade of experience and certifications in both development and communication to match, I try to make sure that I always innovate, constantly create and always put my best foot forward.

With around seven years of active MERN stack development experience under my belt, I have also been actively leading multiple MERN projects and more recently, MEAN, with Firebase, SES, PayPal, and Stripe integrations since 2019. These integrations have led me to become an AWS DevOps certified Engineer. This AWS certification was part of my training in the deployment of multiple Django and flask based backends to Elastic instances. This then allowed me to not only become intimately familiar with Python-based backend frameworks (I was in charge of both the backend and the deployment) but also helped me further diversify my portfolio.

Not only do I have many years of Full-stack experience, but my last few years of experience as hands-on lead managing teams of 7 to 8 people also makes me confident that I can quickly adapt to any role placed before me.

Personal Projects

Some Personal Projects I found Interesting and pursued on my own

GUI for PGP Encryption

I created an intuitive and simple GUI for PGP encryption on Windows. The program takes an existing file and either decrypts or encrypts the message encoded in the file. First, the encrypted message will be displayed, and the decrypted message will require the correct password (from the key) before displaying the decrypted text.

Humans Vs Zombies (Live Interactive Game)

I created an interactive website to enable online tracking of a real-life interactive game (Humans Vs. Zombies). The game included live heatmaps, status updates, and player changes based on player input. Players were also automatically tagged and differentiated post-RubyCAS SSO authentication. In addition, webhooks were used to create APIs for future integration into mobile applications.

Algorithmic Genetic Transport System

I disseminated my Genetic Algorithm back to its VRPTW problem base set with the additional constraint of the algorithm being a Gene Problem Set. I solved the final problem using Best Route crossover to end up with a Genetic Delivery System to introduce noise to DNA strands to provide one-way salt/hash to implement Privacy.
