Software engineer with a proven ability to find creative solutions to complex problems in rapidly changing environments under tight time constraints. As a life-long learner, I love pushing myself to expand my technology acumen through coding bootcamps, studying for new certifications, and making learning/creative-focused partnerships with the talented people I work with. Creativity is a lifestyle, and I like to get creative with solving even daily challenges by developing diet management apps, biking inventory apps, etc. I also believe in leaving things better than I found them, which is why I keep a focus on innovation; after extensive testing of my controller, I rewrote the entire controller to solve a problem that had been missed in initial production. I am now eager to earn a challenging position that will expand my learning and build upon my skills as a developer. EXPERIENCE
