About
Software Developer with 6 years of experience working in the domain of Web Development since completing my Bachelors of Computer Science in 2018. Most of the work I have done has been as a full stack developer and technical lead, but also have a lot of experience building infrastructure on AWS. I am currently looking for work that is challenging, interesting intellectually, and provides real value for people in the world.
