Full Stack
Coming from a fullstack background I can still roll up my sleeves and dive into code.
Agile
Working with companies and clients to implement, improve or collaborate on agile workflows.
Management
Truly enjoy mentoring davelopers, but also engage with groups of an organization to build projects that are quality, and scalable.
AWS
I have worked within the AWS environments in production, prototype, and experimental.
I am really interested in continuing my education, experimenting, prototyping, voluteering, and taking on new challenges.
Artificial Intelligence
We see A.I. being integrated into almost every industry vertical, but it's important to understand the pitfalls.
IoT
This is one of my favorite technologies, partly because it utilizes the Pub/Sub model. However I love the idea of interacting with so many sytems and devices.
Robotics
Another technology which is growing rapidly, and bridging Human to Machine interactions.
Computer Vision
Iterperating what a machine sees is an interesting field, which most people think of recognition or autonomous computation but there is much more.
