ABOUT ME
Experienced backend software engineer
Experienced backend software engineer
The day my father first brought home a computer many years ago, I was hooked! I've been coding ever since. That was back in the day when I had to save my files on a cassette tape, before the "Mac" was even a thing. I still continue to learn, and my passion for learning is matched only by my passion for sharing my knowledge with others.

I've used Python for various scripting tasks throughout my career. I've also used it for a Flask application that allowed my team to integrate Jira with a content management system in order to automate certain repetitive tasks that were previously prone to human error.
More recently, I've been using Python on NASA projects enabling scientists to analyze Earth-Observation data (typically satellite imagery).

I've used Java since its early days, for clients across the globe, primarily focused on e-commerce applications using J2EE technologies, such as Servlets, JSP Pages, JSP Tags, among others. Clients have included Virgin Wines (England), Lufthansa (Germany), Metcash (Australia), PetSmart (USA), and others.
I'm also experienced with various testing frameworks, such as JUnit and TestNG, static code analysis tools, such as FindBugs, PMD, and Checkstyle, and build tools, such as Maven and Gradle, as well as packaging and deployment practices related to Application Servers.

Leveraged Groovy in the process of customizing an AI-based Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) platform for various clients. Groovy was the scripting language of choice for custom BPM logic. Also used Groovy for writing custom Apache Camel components in the context of integrating the IVA with other systems.
