About

At the end of 2024, I wrapped up my role as a Sr. Software Engineer at Scorpion, where I specialized in Front-End Development and UX. I’m passionate about full-stack JavaScript development, scalable solutions, and exploring new innovations in AI and Web3. Currently, I’m providing freelance services while seeking my next challenge. My previous experience includes working with Publix Super Markets, Dave Ramsey, and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. In September, my wife and I launched Next Level Tutoring, focusing on 1st to 4th graders. Outside of coding, I’m actively engaging on platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and exploring my voice on Medium. I enjoy spending time with my family and playing video games, especially Fortnite! Always eager to connect with like-minded individuals, whether through technology, education, or collaboration. Let’s create something amazing together!
