About
I'm a software Dev Engineer at Amazon. I revel in solving critical problems, developing algorithms, and building cutting-edge applications. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy working with others towards success as a team.
I pursued a career as a software engineer because I genuinely love coding. I never had the opportunity to own a computer as a child, but I was always fascinated by how they worked. Every time my uncle comes over, I spend a lot of time learning everything I can before he leaves. I began with a simple goal in mind: I would like to build my own apps and websites. Little did I know that I would be pursuing a dream and a career in web development and design.
I previously contributed to a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded robotics project at TSU. I built and released a robotics web app in my capacity as a researcher engineer. I've developed websites for charitable organizations like the People Family Workshop and served as a teaching assistant for TSU's computer science program. I work on open source projects on GitHub during my free time. I try to surround myself with engineers who share my passion and inspire me. I have a passion for all things technological and designs, and my most recent professional interests include software engineering, web development, program management, and product management.
