Organizations
Skills/Languages
My focus is on application development using Javascript, React, and GraphQL. However, I also have a background in infrastructure so I divide my time between the Frontend and Backend projects. SQL is one of my core strengths and I've used nginx, Docker, and Auth0 to architect backend solutions.
Currently learning
I'm currently diving deep into React and improving my GraphQL skills.
Currently hacking on

I'm an active member of www.chingu.io and am contributing as an Agile Coach and Web Developer on the Chingu team developing the automation platform supporting the members and organization.
Available for
