I am currently searching for full-time and 100% remote opportunities. I am not open to relocation.

As a self-taught engineer I have experience with a wide range of tech stacks and platforms. I am self-sufficient, reliable, and adaptable. That said, I particularly enjoy working on teams that have: a clear direction, excellent communication, and an eye for quality.

I am interested in:

👍 Full-time positions
👍 Remote first organizations
👍 Engineer or Senior Engineer positions
👍 Go, TypeScript, or Node
👍 RESTful APIs
👍 Microservices
👍 Distributed systems

I'm open to

full time roles.
