Joey's Hub / J0E-E (Joey) · GitHub / Unity HamRunner / Unity SneakySnek Professional Summary
Versatile and results-driven full-stack engineer with a unique blend of 15 years in metrology and a proven track record in modern software development. I transitioned from a laboratory environment into the tech industry through a Business/Configuration Analyst role, where I quickly self-taught engineering fundamentals and established myself as a key contributor across both backend and frontend development. Known for taking initiative and owning complex challenges, I’ve delivered robust solutions for enterprise SaaS platforms and customer-facing POS systems. Whether building custom APIs, leading production releases, or modernizing legacy infrastructure, I’m passionate about designing and delivering reliable systems through strong collaboration, thoughtful architecture, and continuous iteration. Outside of professional work, I actively pursue game development and increasingly complex personal projects as both creative expression and technical growth. This passion drives my commitment to lifelong learning and keeps me engaged with emerging technologies, systems design, and innovative problem-solving. Technical Skills
