Skills and Projects

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed software solutions for several companies, focusing on improving workflows and enhancing overall efficiency. By analyzing existing processes, I have been able to identify areas where errors frequently occur and implement automated systems that significantly reduce these mistakes. My approach emphasizes simplifying complex tasks, allowing team members to focus on their core responsibilities rather than getting bogged down by cumbersome procedures. The feedback from these companies has been overwhelmingly positive, as my solutions have not only streamlined operations but also fostered a culture of continuous improvement. Ultimately, my goal has been to create software that empowers employees and drives productivity while minimizing the potential for errors.

Education

I am proud to have graduated with a bachelor's degree in software engineering from Western Governors University (WGU). This program has provided me with extensive exposure to programming for various interfaces and hardware, equipping me with the skills necessary to tackle diverse technology challenges. Throughout my studies, I pursued several certifications that further validate my expertise. These include project management, software development fundamentals, the A+ certification, and the ITIL® Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management. This comprehensive education has not only deepened my technical knowledge but also prepared me for real-world applications in the field of software engineering.
