Work
I have worked in some professional capacity as a programmer since 2010. While I've touched many sorts of tech during my career, my interest and focus has been with web technologies. Presently, I am a software engineer at MSquare Healthcare in Baltimore, MD (USA) where we develop a world class digital therapy video game. My specific focus here is on engineering tools which enable effective delivery of this novel therapy using both hardware and software to encourage patients and therapists alike to make the most of the platform. I am also a collaborator with the Kata Design Studio at Johns Hopkins Medical Institue where a diverse team from many disciplines designs innovative ways to improve patient care and therapist experiences.
My career history is diverse working with both commercial and non-profit organizations, and also independently as a freelancer. My various roles have given me unique professional opportunities beyond software engineering such as working with audio visual technology in both live and studio production environments (my particular expertise is in stage lighting). I've also some professional experience working in music, IT, large event coordination, and building design/construction projects.
I'm a 90's kid - I'm thankful to have been around for the advent of the web as we know it. My passion for the web and it's tech can without a doubt can be attributed to growing up on dial-up, writing CSS for my Myspace page, and finding new ways to connect online. When it comes to software engineering I'm relatively technology agnostic, though most of my expertise is related to web technologies. I have extensive Javascript experience and especially enjoy working with React, React Native, Electron, and Node. Of course, I've also got strong web fundamentals with HTML, and CSS.
