About Me

Experience years: 23
Last experience details: Currently, I'm in a full-time position as a senior developer. I help support 27 systems and services ranging from Magento, Angular, Symfony, and a few homegrown services.
Short description: I've wanted to be a developer most of my life. I love learning new things. Currently, I'm learning non-programming languages including Spanish, Russian, Irish, Japanese, Korean, French, German, and a few others. I help the local high school as a programming mentor for their robotics teams. Laravel is my favorite framework, right now, to develop in.
