I am a software engineer with a broad array of industry experience. I have worked in large tech corporations, small companies, and universities. Throughout my life I have been exposed to several computer technologies. As a teenager, I developed a passion for x86 assembly, the Pascal and C languages, and operating systems. Professionally, I have worked with C++, C#, various HTML/Javascript frontend frameworks, Node.js, and more recently, Java and Scala. Early on in my career I also worked as a technical support engineer, which allowed me to develop a customer-focused attitude and listening skills. In the past few years, I have focused my career on backend development. Some of the things I am passionate about at the moment include large-scale applications on the Java Virtual Machine, data analysis pipelines based on graph databases (e.g. Neo4j) and graph analysis algorithms, static code analysis, functional languages, and concurrency models. I am particularly interested in solving problems that require a good amount of algorithms and data structures. I care deeply about writing code that is modular, tested, and easy to read and maintain.
