Hire a Remote Software Engineer from United States

About me

With a rich history in software development, I have effectively served as an Integrations Developer, Software Development Manager, and Lead Software Developer at Premier Packaging, LLC, navigating the intricacies of CRM integrations, LAMP stack development, and crafting user-centric applications. My tenure at Motivating Systems further sharpened my full-stack development skills, where I played a pivotal role in the development and enhancement of the PBIS Rewards system.

Educationally, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Western Kentucky University, supplemented by coursework at Morehead State University. My academic pursuits have been complemented by practical experiences, ensuring a balanced blend of theory and hands-on expertise.

As I look to the future, my aspirations are twofold: to delve into projects that push the boundaries of traditional web development and integration, and to continually expand my knowledge. I’m driven by challenges that not only leverage my current skills but also offer avenues for learning and growth. Whether it’s exploring new technologies, frameworks, or methodologies, I’m eager to contribute and evolve in the ever-changing landscape of software development.
