About
I'm a software engineer using critical thinking and problem solving to develop backend application logic. I enjoy learning new technologies to add to my toolbox for creating reliable backend software and infrastructure for web software that can scale to handle consumer demand. I have experience in creating and maintaining infrastructure on cloud computing platforms, AWS in particular. These responsibilities also include detecting and mitigating live production errors with both infrastructure and application code fixes.

Software Engineer at Northrop Grumman
Irving, TX (3 years and 7 months)
At Northrop Grumman I worked as a developer to create a Smalltalk based application that utilized an Oracle database to store and display manufacturing instructions. I developed new modules within the application and bug fixes to support maintenance of the application. I also utilized Oracle PL/SQL to develop scheduled stored procedures to do routine data processing. Similarly, I created PL/SQL stored procedures that migrated data from legacy systems into the newer manufacturing application.
