Hello There!

In my career I've been able to gain valuable experience as a Software Engineer at Lithia and Driveway, as well as a Systems Engineer at Open Source Labs. My expertise in Linux system administration, along with my proficiency in DevOps practices such as Containerization, Configuration Management, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Chef. During my tenure as a Software Engineer, I developed APIs critical to the business operations of Lithia and its dealerships, further enhancing my skill set and readiness to contribute immediately.

Additionally, prior to university, I worked at Coding With Kids, where I taught numerous youth classes in Object-Oriented Programming and Principles. This experience not only allowed me to collaborate with exceptional individuals but also provided me with invaluable insights and skills.
