Hey there!

I’m Steve, and welcome to my page! You’ve probably arrived here either from my resume, LinkedIn, or one of my tech articles. So, I’ll skip the part about telling you how I like to scuba dive or how I enjoy long romantic walks on the coast during sunset. 🤪

So, let’s get down to business!

⇩

I’m actively looking for a new remote role right now, and I can accommodate a full-time position, contract, or corp-to-corp. Please contact me via LinkedIn if you would like to talk about how I can assist you and your team.

Engineering/Development

I’m a developer/engineer/problem solver. I have a bachelor’s degree in Engineering from UCSD. I took the self-taught route in programming which means I’m pretty used to researching development topics/ideas on my own. I have been coding for 8 years, and I have 4 years of backend, full stack, and frontend engineering work experience. In my previous roles, I have worked mainly in JavaScript, Node.js, Express.js, AWS, React.js, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, just to give you a quick list. I also have hobby-level experience using Python and MongoDB.

My GitHub

I created my first GitHub repo in 2015, so I’ve been coding for a bit. My GitHub has 67 repos at the time of writing this for you to peruse. My repositories range from small ones for testing ideas to larger ones with more operational projects. Many of those projects have been shuttered and are not live on URLs any longer, but the code/commits are still there for you to review.
