I am currently the Head of Technology at SetPatrol (a remote tech startup) where I researched and selected a tech stack for a film-equipment marketplace and led a team of remote developers to carefully iterate on programming the marketplace with care and passion. I also collaborated and contributed to the MVP and product expectations. It has sharpened my communication and organizational skills while honing my self-motivation and adaptability as a developer.
Before this I spent several months as a Junior Web Developer Intern at SetPatrol where I gained valuable experience navigating an existing codebase, fixing a multitude of bugs and writing production level PHP, HTML, CSS & JavaScript.
I have been learning and falling in love with programming since January of 2019, but my journey started for real in August of 2019 when I joined Lambda School to take their Full-Stack Web Development & Computer Science course which I finished in November 2020.
While attending Lambda School (and working a full-time job) over the past 18 months, I’ve completed a great deal of coursework on cutting-edge web development technologies and best practices, including Agile software development and Git Workflow. I learned and applied skills, including JavaScript, React, Redux, React Router, HTML/CSS, LESS, Styled-Components, Node, Express.js, REST APIs, Python and SQLite in a range of web and mobile platforms, from wireframing to the final product as well as client-side and server testing and data structures & algorithms.
My previous career as a head coffee roaster in the specialty coffee industry has given me valuable insights into managing a critical department of a small business through developing advanced skills in organization, problem-solving and communication; preparing me well for a career in software.

Portfolio
Below are a handful of projects I have built & worked on while on my web-development journey.
ReVitalize
React | SASS | Apollo | Prisma | GraphQL
- ReVitalize is a crowdfunding platform that creates apprenticeship opportunities to help tradesmen develop skills to gain licensing through projects that help communities.
- Collaborated with 4 remote team members in an Agile development environment to iterate through 3 client approved release-canvasses of numerous bug fixes, accessibility issues and addition of several new features.
- Solely responsible for:
- Constructing the FAQ page to clearly represent the application's intent and answer frequently asked questions users might have while also integrating styles with the application's existing dark mode.
- Achieving 100% test coverage for the footer component using Jest.
- Re-designing the dashboard component to fully responsive across desktop, tablet and phone views and dark mode compatible.
- Pair programmed with several other team member to fix the bugs in the footer component and fix state management issue in the dashboard component.
Top Movies & Shows
React | React Router | Material-UI | Webpack | Babel
- An application that shows lists of top movies & tv shows from the IMDB API and allows you to search for any movie or show.
- Created an asynchronous custom React hook that takes in a url and returns data, loading & error state, making displaying each returned state easy and quick. I have since adopted this hook in my NASA Photo Of The Day application as well.
- Learned in 1 day how to configure Webpack & Babel to bundle the application.
- Designed, built, bundled & deployed by myself over 1 week.
