I am a passionate software engineer and social entrepreneur. I am proud of my beginnings as a youth developer with inner-city kids then through education within the halls of congress and now in software engineering. As a full-stack software engineer with a focus on React, Angular, Node.js, Typescript and JavaScript, I've built a robust portfolio including a professional coffee cupping app. I've also built custom library projects in other languages such as Ruby that have been used widely by the developer community. As a social entrepreneur I have co-launched different projects in areas such as health (MomBox), sustainability (PowerToThePeople), specialty food through art (ArtesanoSpirit) and performing arts. Many of such ventures have been awarded in business competitions. I've also contributed as a technical writer for CareerKarma and have been featured on various tech journals on Medium.
