The longer version

Builder with a project-manager's brain.

Construction taught me how to sequence work. Software is how I ship it.

Background

I'm a full-stack software developer at Pingram, a developer messaging platform for email, SMS, and inbound communication. Day to day that means the React dashboard, AWS Lambda APIs, generated SDKs, CLI, docs, and the pipelines that ship them.

Before Pingram I built web and mobile products at Get Coding, after completing their full-stack program. That career started in construction and project management — planning, sequencing work, and getting teams across the finish line — which still shows up in how I break down software work.

Experience

    Get Coding Training Inc.

    Full Stack and Mobile Application Developer

    Built and maintained the student/coach tracking product across web and React Native, including student-facing mobile features and a recruitment dashboard for partner companies.

Education

Get Coding · Full Stack Development

Jan 2022 – March 2023

After a few years wanting to move into tech, I joined Get Coding and trained weekly with working software developers in React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

Skills

TypeScript and React for product UI; Node.js and AWS Lambda for APIs; DynamoDB, SES, SNS, and SQS for data and delivery; CDK and Serverless Framework for infrastructure. I also spend a lot of time on developer-facing work: OpenAPI-generated SDKs, CLI packaging, docs in Astro, and CI with GitHub Actions. Earlier work includes React Native, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL/AppSync.
