I'm a former Business Analyst turned Software Engineer, skilled in React, Ruby on Rails, and SQL, with 5+ years working within Agile product teams. A recent grad of the Flatiron School Bootcamp, I learned vanilla JS (ES6), React, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails all within 15 weeks, with each unit culminating in a technicall assessment and group project. I know I can learn quickly and make an impact if given the opportunity.

As far as me IRL, I'm a (self-professed) Renaissance man! I do improv comedy, acting, and write sketch comedy in Chicago. My other hobbies include: cooking, gaming, playing bad guitar, my two cats, traveling with my wife, comic books, Chicago food scene, and Chicago sports (let's go Cubs!).

I'm open to collaborating on projects, and I hope to enhance any team with both my professional and personal experiences.

A choose-your-own-adventure style, text game (SPA) built with React and Rails where players (attempt) to escape a nefarious basement. Capstone project for Flatiron School Bootcamp.

Flatiron group project part of Rails unit. SPA using React and Rails detailing games, reviews, and where users can leave and browse reviewed games.

Flatiron Group Project as part of React unit. SPA that allows users to view, order, and checkout beers at a hypothetical bar.

Flatiron Group Project as part of vanilla Ruby unit. SPA using React and vanilla Ruby/Sinatra that allows users to browse animals in their habitats at a hypothetical zoo.
