I'm passionate about turning ideas into reality through code. With a unique blend of technical expertise, leadership skills, and business acumen, I excel in building robust, scalable software solutions. I'm proficient in a broad range of programming languages, including JavaScript, C, C++, Java, Python, Swift, Kotlin, Rust, Go, and more. My track record includes meeting tight deadlines and delivering polished, well-documented, and thoroughly tested products. Recently, I modernized D. Harris Tours by introducing AI-driven job scheduling and routing, doubling their revenue without increasing costs. Let's build something great together.
