About

I am a Software Engineer based in the United States, passionate about writing code and developing applications. My journey into tech followed a unique path, beginning with a 9-year enlistment as a Russian Cryptologic Linguist in the US Army. This experience has fueled my unwavering commitment to excel in all aspects of software engineering.

My technical proficiency spans both front-end and back-end development with a particular emphasis on Javascript libraries and frameworks to include React, Angular, and NestJS. I have my AWS Solutions Architect and CompTia SEC+ Certifications and work almost daily in the cloud. Regarding DevOps, I love building effective CI/CD pipelines using Github Actions and Jenkins to streamline development workflows and enhance productivity. In my current role as a Systems Engineer and SIGINT/EW Subject Matter Expert (SME) for General Dynamics Mission Systems, I bring a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach to developing and improving the Army's Intelligence Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT).

I believe in being part of something bigger than myself, so let's connect! If you are interested in knowing more about my professional skills, take a gander at my portfolio, or contact me for my resume. I built this site with love using NextJS, Sanity, and Tailwind CSS. I hope you like it!
