New Orleans, LA FULL STACK ENGINEER
GARRET J.H.
The Gist
I have a long and great experience with technology. I was fortunate to receive not only a computer, but a dedicated phone line (Internet for the win!) in 1995. I was fascinated by the essence of solving puzzles and playing strategic games as a child. I soon found, as I taught myself C, that it felt like a game and the internet was the landscape upon adventures I would embark. Now a seasoned Full Stack Engineer, with a knack for leading projects from conception to deployment, I excel in driving architectural design, executing software solutions, and mentoring teams. My expertise spans modern web technologies, including Typescript, Node.js, Python and GraphQL, and I am committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
