Hello!

I’m a software engineer with professional experience in backend and full-stack development. Most recently, I worked as a Software Engineer at SiriusXM Radio, where I contributed to large-scale production systems. I was affected by a recent layoff and am now actively seeking my next opportunity.

My strongest languages are Python, Java, and JavaScript. I’ve worked across multiple environments - including over a year in a classified setting - and I currently hold an active security clearance.

I’m seeking a full-time entry or mid-level software engineering role, ideally focused on backend or full-stack development. I’m open to opportunities across industries and teams and am happy to discuss how my experience could be a fit for your needs.

I studied Math and Computer Science at Virginia Tech.

At this time, I’m seeking salary-based positions (no equity-only roles).

I’m open to conversations, referrals, or advice and would love to connect. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello! I'm a software developer with lots of experience in full stack and backend development. I was most recently a developer at SirusXM Radio until I was laid off recently. The languages I've used the most are Python, Java, C++, Ruby ( Ruby on Rails ), and JavaScript. I've also worked over a year in a classified setting and I still hold a security clearance. I'm looking for a entry or mid-level software engineer position.

I attended Virginia Tech for three years and studied Computer Science and Math. I got the core CS curriculum completed; the part I didn't complete were the electives. I had to stop attending because I ran out of money.

Due to my current financial situation, unfortunately I'll require a salary position - no equity only.

With all that said, I'm open to having a conversation with anyone. Thanks! :)
