I’m Kenny, a full-stack software engineer looking for junior opportunities. I most recently worked in a UX-centric engineering role at a gaming company and have prior experience at an early-stage start-up developing a biotech SaaS. I have a graduate-level education in information science from an R1 university alongside degrees and research experience in the health sciences.

To be very transparent, I’ve been unemployed for a while after operations for my previous company moved overseas and it's been tough trying to get back into the industry. I took time off to refine my computer science knowledge and get more confident in my engineering skills. I am really looking to break back into tech in a less design-focused role. Please send me a message if you know of any opportunities! Open to connecting on LinkedIn also. :) Thank you!

Firstly, clarifying that I am not a bot post.

Hi, I'm Kenny. Previously worked in a UX-centric role at a gaming company and also have experience in an early biotech start-up developing a SaaS. I'm looking for junior and mid-level engineering roles where I can grow after being on the "design" side of product development for awhile. Email me for any questions about my background. Thank you! :)

Hello! I'm a full-stack software engineer looking for junior/entry-level roles. I previously worked in tech as a UX designer so I'm familiar with the design and user research side of organizations. As a former designer, I lean more towards the front-end side of full-stack, but I am open to backend roles!

I have a strong foundation in CS fundamentals and programming paradigms, and a huge capacity for self-learning. I love to pick up new languages and tools, which also applies outside of work. Building computers and keyboards, learning spoken languages, and creating 3D models are some ways I mix creativity and technicality in my daily life. :)

Looking forward to hearing back about any potential opportunities!
