Career

YC-Backed Startups

I have worked for a YC-backed startup gaining tremendous experience working in a fast-paced, low-spec development environment in a fully remote position.

Small Teams

Working with a maximum of three other developers, I have experience collaborating on complex technical problems with a small team and corresponding with this team to secure deadlines for tasks assigned prior.

Complex Development

The specific tasks assigned to me in my experience were large and complex in nature, forcing me to design and whiteboard solutions and implement the technical features to move forward with the product.

Entrepreneurship

Customer Engagement

I have extensive experience conducting customer interviews and engaging with stakeholders to gain insights on user needs and market trends. I incorporate customer feedback into my plans to create an efficient feedback loop that drives company growth.

Pitching to Investors

I have successfully created several pitch decks that have won entrepreneurial competitions and attracted the attention of venture capitalists. I follow strict guidelines when creating pitch decks to keep them concise, informative, and visually appealing, including crucial topics such as the mission, problem, solution, market size, business model, and team.

Product Development

I have led product development teams utilizing agile methodologies, delegation, and organization to create strong codebases and ensure timely and efficient project completion. My experience allows me to prioritize tasks, focus on hitting deadlines, and continuously improve development processes.

Development

Self-Taught

I started my software development journey in 2019, teaching myself multiple programming languages including C++, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, GoLang, and Solidity. My self-teaching led me to mobile development in React Native, and then to web development with React.js and Next.js.

Mobile & Web Development

My skills in mobile development with React Native and web development with React.js and Next.js allow me to create faster-to-maintain applications while utilizing more web tools. I also have experience in deep linking to create a more user-friendly app experience.

Learning New Tools

My ability to quickly pick up new library documentation allows me to bring fresh tools to the table when starting new projects.

Teamwork

Communication

I understand the importance of clear communication when working with a team on larger projects. I make sure to keep my team on task and informed about my own timeline. By effectively communicating with each other, we can ensure that the project is completed smoothly and efficiently.

Positive Environment

I prioritize creating a positive and healthy work environment for everyone on the team. I make an effort to get to know my fellow team members and understand what motivates them. By building a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork, we can create an enjoyable work environment that encourages collaboration and innovation.
