About Me

I’m a Full-Stack Developer with an M.S. in Computer Science from Merrimack College. I specialize in building scalable, cloud-ready apps using Backend Frameworks such as Spring Boot, Modern UI/frontend Frameworks such as Angular and React, and Database Management Systems.

My flagship project, the Shift Scheduler App, automates shift requests and notifications for Evergreen Center — integrating JWT security, admin dashboards, and automated emails.

I’m currently expanding my expertise in DevOps pipelines using Docker, Nginx, and Hostinger VPS for full production deployments.
