ABOUT

Hey there, I'm DJ – a passionate software engineer hailing from the vibrant city of Los Angeles. With over three years of professional experience in the industry, I've immersed myself in the dynamic world of web development, specializing in the MERN stack.

My journey into the world of coding took an unexpected turn from the bustling streets of New York City, where I pursued a career in acting and even serenaded patrons as a singing server at Ellen's Stardust Diner. However, driven by a desire for stability and structure, I found my calling in the ever-evolving landscape of web development.

Equipped with a comprehensive education from UCLA Extension's rigorous full stack web development bootcamp, I swiftly immersed myself in the intricacies of JavaScript, mastering tools like Node, Express, React, MongoDB, and more. Unraveling the mysteries of the digital realm has been an exhilarating endeavor, fueled by a relentless pursuit of excellence.

In my professional endeavors, I've had the privilege of spearheading migration projects and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions. At InvestCloud, I not only elevated my technical acumen but also embraced leadership roles, guiding and mentoring fellow developers to achieve their full potential.

When I'm not knee-deep in code, you'll find me tinkering with personal projects like DJ's Wordle – my take on the classic word game, or diving into the pages of a good book with my Reading Tracker app. I believe in infusing creativity into everything I do, whether it's solving complex problems or collaborating with like-minded individuals to turn ideas into reality.

If you're seeking a seasoned collaborator to bring your digital vision to life, I'm here to help. Let's connect and embark on a journey of digital transformation, where we'll push boundaries, innovate relentlessly, and create experiences that leave a lasting impact.
