About
I have experience building and publishing desktop, mobile, and web applications. I use various technologies and platforms including Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, Python, Git/GitHub, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Vercel.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from CUNY Lehman College and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Union College. As an undergraduate at Lehman College I worked as a Full-Stack Developer intern. I also co-founded and became Vice President of the NSBE chapter at Lehman College.
I graduated from Lehman College with a 3.8 GPA with Departmental Honors in Mathematics and Computer Science. Immediately after graduation I completed an internship where I learned to build full-stack web applications using the MEAN stack. I later worked at Revature as a Software Developer intern.
Over the years I taught numerous courses in application development. I also built and published an Android application for startup organization Change Food For Good that enabled farmers to track data pertaining to their crops. Most recently I was a Software Engineering Instructor at Flatiron School providing instruction on how to build full-stack applications by building responsive interactive user interfaces using React and RESTful APIs using Flask.
Outside of work I attend tech meetups, conferences, and hackathons.
