About Me
With over 6 years of software engineering experience, I am a lead software engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton, a global consulting firm that provides technology solutions to government and commercial clients. I code across the tech stack using React, Node.js, Golang, Python, and Kubernetes, and I lead a team of talented engineers in delivering high-quality software products that meet the customer's needs and expectations.
I am also a software engineering mentor at MentorCruise, an online platform that connects mentors and mentees in the tech industry. I have been recognized as one of the "Top Mentors" on the platform, having mentored over 30 individuals with various backgrounds and goals. I have helped a number of self-taught or recent bootcamp grads land their first job as software developers as well as helped mid-level engineers ascend to a senior role. I enjoy helping others learn, grow, and achieve their career aspirations, as well as sharing my passion for continuous learning, people, and problem-solving. I understand how important it is to have great mentorship but who mentors you is equally as important as what they’re telling you. When I mentor folks, I try to be the friend who gives you the advice you need to hear and not just the stuff you want to hear. Click here to learn more about my engineering ethos.
