About

Experience && Skills

In Summer 2024, I interned at Godaddy as a Backend Software Engineer on the Edge/API Gateway Team working on a CLI tool/lambda function written in Rust, Tokio, Axum, and Clap. I contributed to the first phase of a company-wide integration plan for a tier 0 service and wrote features that help streamline the configuration process of our reverse proxies for all of GoDaddy’s microservices and web traffic.

In Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, I interned at Baltimore Life Insurance as a Frontend Software Engineer on the Platform Team implementing my redesign of the home page for the Internal Agent Portal using React, which has now gone into prod.

postwoman:~

A self-hosted dev tool that achieves what postman does but with my personal preferences in its functionality and design. It is my favorite project so far because it solves a lot of pet peeves of mine and drastically improves my experience testing APIs over the experience postman gave me.

2D Sonic Platformer

A sentimental first project where I decided to take action on my childhood dream to become a 'game maker', and introduced me to the world of software development. Learned physics and animation in game development, and more importantly, how to self teach software development, which brought me where I am now.
