Summary

I like to make computers do things while building innovative solutions to technical problems.

Working at The Metabolomics Innovation Center as a full stack software engineer building and maintaining ~35 software as a service (SaaS) and database products in the metabolomics and biological sciences sector. Our tech stack includes Ruby on Rails, React, MySQL, and PostgreSQL for most of our applications, with a few using pure NodeJS or Django. We also use Python, Django and FastAPI for building out some of our core services.
