I am a New York City based Software Engineer.
I am always interested in learning new material to better myself and my profession. I enjoy working on projects both on my own, and with colleagues. Outside of developing, I enjoy the great outdoors. Running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing and camping, which allow me to escape when need be.
Minimalistic ToDo
Android
MinToDo is a material themed minimalistic ToDo app aimed at giving you only what you need to get the job done. Simple in design and function. Quickly add a ToDo item, choose to add a reminder or not, and save it. When the day and time come for the task to be completed, the app will remind you with a notification. Once the task is complete, simply swipe it away. No longer is making a ToDo list a ToDo item, get it done minimalistically with MinToDo.

Financial Independence Through Social Obligation
React Native
Scale is a budgeting app that introduces a sense of competitiveness among users. You and your friends are ranked by the points you earn for actively using the app. The more you points you have, the more financially responsible you are. Since your friends can also see your Scale score, you have an incentive to gain more points so you're not at the bottom of the stack.
This project uses React Native as the frontend, and Firebase on the backend to co-develop iOS and Android versions.
My role as a "Full-Stack Engineer" has me developing the software for a growing company at the intersection of energy, finance, and policy. The software provides a platform that allows utilities to deliver distributed generation programs like energy efficiency and solar to their customers. Some responsibilities include;
I decided to further my practice of Java and Android development by creating a material themed minimalistic To-do application for the Android platform. I used Java, HTML, CSS< and NoSQL for the development. Continued maintenance and future monetization are in planning.
Tasked with creating, prototyping and developing an application in ten weeks with a team put together on a whim. Using Agile development methodologies, my team was able to use a language unknown to us at the start, and develop the app 'Scale'. React Native, NoSQL, Java, and Objective-C were the skills both learned and strengthened during this rapid development cycle.
As the military equivalent of an International Logistic Manager, I wore many hats in this roll. No week was the same as everything could change at a moments notice. Being tasked with military transport anywhere in the world with punctuality as important as professionalism and precision was no small feat. Utilizing all assets and skill-sets allowed me to complete the mission. The responsibility increased as I became the one in charge of building the rosters for certain missions and overseeing the qualifications of 138 members. This specific position taught me conformity through flexibility, a skill that has propelled me to new heights ever since.
I started my military career in this position. In this position, no two tasking were the same, even if it was the same type of work. Different issues afforded me the ability to creatively solve complex problems. No matter the location, weather, or time, I was able to perform above and beyond. Collaborative work utilizing individual ideas taught me the importance of a team.
My passion for computers and technology drove me to this position. I was not prepared to be a stand-alone Network Admin, but instead worked under the individual who was, shadowing and learning all that I could. Keeping a netowrk running smoothly for a major company was daunting. While the responsibilities can varey widely depending on the complexity of the network, mine were fairly straight-forward.
