Fullstack Developer and Data Analytics Specialist with a proven track record in delivering robust IT solutions, driving operational efficiency, and leading high-performing teams. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Statistics with a concentration in Applied Statistics and Data Analytics from Truman State University, complemented by a minor in Physics. This strong educational foundation underpins my analytical approach to problem-solving and my ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
With experience in software development, inventory management, and IT support, I thrive in dynamic environments where adaptability and innovation are paramount. Currently, as a Programmer/Analyst at Indian Hills Community College, I design and implement scalable systems to streamline operations and enhance user experiences. In previous roles, I’ve successfully led teams of up to 10 members, optimizing processes and mentoring team members.
My technical expertise spans a wide range of platforms and languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust for web and desktop development, and Kotlin and Swift for mobile applications. I’m proficient in SQL variants (PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite) and cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure, AWS Lambda, and Cloudflare Workers. Additionally, I leverage tools such as R, SAS, and Tableau to drive data-informed decisions.
I’m committed to continuous learning and believe in fostering collaboration to achieve meaningful results. My passion lies in creating efficient systems and empowering teams to innovate and grow.
