About Me

I am a full stack developer with a passion for creating beautiful and functional applications. I have experience in both frontend and backend development, and I am always looking to learn new technologies. Since the beginning of my career I have chosen a path that has required to me learn in and adapt in high demand environments. I am currently working as a Backend Engineer with Chek Financial, a fintech startup based in Miami, Fl.


When I'm not coding, I enjoy riding my bike, hiking with my partner and dog, having faith in the Chicago Bears, and playing videos games.

Frontend Engineer - Coterie Insurance

After working solo for a year, I wanted to work with a team. I joined a startup called Coterie Insurance where I worked with a scrum team of 8 other engineers in a larger 65+ engineer team workforce. I worked with React, Typescript, React Testing Library, and more. Unfortunately I was hit by the layoff bug in 2022.

Backend Engineer - Chek Financial

Immediately after being laid off, I found a job at a startup called Chek Financial where I currently work.
