Software Engineer @ OPAQUE Systems

About

I am a software developer with strong skills in Javascript, HTML/CSS, Sass, Ruby on Rails, Node JS, and React/Redux who passionate about delivering quality products and creating great user experiences. I am in love with software development because the field is always changing so there are countless opportunities to grow everyday. I worked as a simulations designer for self-driving vehicles, where I lead daily triage meetings and collaborated with AI software engineering teams to identify critical failures in software that could have lead to catastrophic accidents had they landed in live vehicles. Working with many skilled software engineers inspired me to make software development my main passion. Ever since, I have refined my Javascript and Ruby skills and have made several projects in different frameworks such as the MERN stack and Ruby on Rails. I love to make fully responsive quality applications that have an intuitive UI and are a joy to use. My passion for learning keeps me going, as there is an endless amount to learn in software development. The technologies, languages, and frameworks I know include: Javascript, Rails, Express, React, Redux, SQL, MongoDB, HTML, CSS, Sass.
