I am a highly curious and motivated Full Stack Web Developer leveraging a background in Public Administration (MPA) and Project Management to build robust, data-centric web applications. My long-term goal is to secure a Full Stack Engineering role where I can transform complex data and business requirements into elegant, functional digital solutions.
| Category | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Frontend | React, JavaScript, TypeScript |
| Backend | Node.js (Express), Python |
| Databases | MongoDB, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) |
| Tools | Git, RESTful APIs, Project Scoping, Agile/Scrum (from PM Cert) |
My current portfolio focus is on building sophisticated, non-bootcamp projects to demonstrate independent product architecture and development skills.
| Project | Status | Focus & Key Skills Demonstrated |
|---|---|---|
| PolicyExplained | In Active Development (Commit Activity Daily!) | A deep-dive Civic Tech application leveraging my MPA background. Focuses on complex data parsing (legislation APIs), full-stack authentication, user tracking, and advanced data visualization. |
| SoundScapes | Deployment/Polishing Phase | A media player built with React/TypeScript that integrates with external APIs (e.g., Spotify). Demonstrates competency with modern front-end tooling and third-party API integration. |
| LottoNumGen | Learning & API Refinement | My ongoing Python sandbox. Used to solidify Python fundamentals and practice building APIs/serverless functions. |
I don't just write code; I have a passion for understanding the "why" and "how" behind a product, which drives both learning and superior execution.
"I am a highly curious Full Stack Engineer who quickly absorbs new technologies and applies policy/PM expertise to build highly usable, data-driven applications."
- Curiosity & Adaptability: My primary strength is my drive to learn. I proactively seek out new tooling, tackle novel problems (like complex API parsing), and ensure my skills remain current and relevant.
- Domain Expertise (MPA): My policy background ensures that I approach development with a critical eye for data integrity and the accurate structuring of complex, unstructured information—a crucial skill for any data-heavy application.
- Execution (PM Cert): My training in project management ensures that I think about project scoping, effective communication with non-technical stakeholders, and delivering solutions that meet deadlines and user needs.
