About
Who I Am
Software Engineering graduate focused on backend and full-stack development using Java, Spring Boot, React, REST APIs, Docker, and SQL. I build secure, production-ready applications that solve practical business and workflow problems.
My recent work includes JourneyLedger, a full-stack travel expense management platform featuring JWT authentication, Spring Security, relational database design, permission-based journey sharing, automated testing, and a self-hosted CI/CD pipeline.
Before completing my degree, I spent 2+ years developing internal web applications alongside my warehouse management responsibilities. I built ReceiveFlow, a PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript workflow system that reduced order preparation time by 7x—from one week to one day. I also developed a voucher management platform for validation, tracking, reporting, and employee purchase management.
My 8+ years of operations experience across logistics, import/export coordination, and warehouse environments gives me a strong understanding of business processes, end users, and the operational problems software needs to solve.
I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Texas at Arlington with a B.S. in Software Engineering and a 3.69 GPA. I am seeking full-time Software Engineering opportunities in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
