About Me
I have experience building and publishing desktop, mobile, and web applications. I use various technologies and platforms including Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL,Python, Git/GitHub, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Vercel.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from CUNY Lehman College and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Union College. As an undergraduate at Lehman College I worked as a full-stack developer intern. I also co-founded and became Vice President of the NSBE chapter at Lehman College.
I graduated from Lehman College with a 3.8 GPA with departmental honors in Mathematics and Computer Science. Immediately after graduation I completed an internship where I learned to build full-stack web applications using MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js. I later worked at Revature as a Software Developer intern where I built an employment reimbursement system.
Over the years I taught numerous courses in application development. I also worked on projects building applications using various technologies. I built and published an Android application for startup organization Change Food for Good that enabled farmers to track data pertaining to their crops.
I was most recently a computer science adjunct lecturer at CUNY College of Staten Island and a software engineering instructor at Flatiron School teaching full-stack application development. Outside of work I attend tech meetups, conferences, and hackathons.
