About Me

Hello! I'm a motivated software developer with a passion for creating efficient, scalable solutions to complex problems. With over eight years of programming experience and a B.S. in Computer Science from San Diego State University, I've built a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and modern development practices.

Previously, I worked as a Developer at Apex Imaging Services, where I built and maintained QuickBase applications for Fortune 500 clients. During my time there, I automated countless processes, improved system performance by 17x, and helped analyze databases with over 120,000 records.

Today, I'm the owner of Elevare Web Solutions, where I leverage my experience to help small businesses streamline their operations and build custom web solutions tailored to their unique needs.
