Professional Summary

A Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience, I have a deep passion for understanding the underlying technology of every project I tackle. I started my journey with HTML in 1997 and have since mastered a wide range of technologies from frontend development to complex back-end systems to native & hybrid mobile apps. I specialize in dissecting project requirements, selecting the most appropriate tools, and delivering scalable yet robust solutions.

Proficient in a range of technologies, including ReactJS, NodeJS, NextJS, SSR, Objective-C, Java, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript (ES5, ES6), TypeScript, C# .net, Arduino, ROS, Xcode, Android Studio, Unity3D, jQuery, AJAX, and CSS, with a solid foundation in HTML and XML. My expertise in Object-Oriented Programming, Event-Driven Design Patterns, and extensive experience with AWS, Azure, ActionScript 2.0/3.0, along with various related tools, enable me to integrate multiple technologies to build powerful applications, Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and Single Page Applications (SPAs).

Experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and I appreciate collaborating with creative teams. Additionally, I have extensive experience with Linux server distributions (Fedora Core, Red Hat, Gentoo, Ubuntu) and a strong understanding of computer hardware, including assembly and maintenance. I am adaptable and capable of working across Mac, PC, and Linux environments.
