ABOUT ME
Software engineer - 5+ years of full-stack experience!
Software engineer - 5+ years of full-stack experience!

Howdy! I have worked as an engineer/mentor at several well-known tech companies and as a tutor for undergraduate computer science students. I am very experienced working with React, Python, Java for full-stack service development and take a very methodical step-by-step debugging approach.

I am excited to help you on debugging or code reviews!

My professional experience has been with front-end React development; back-end microservice development (Java, Go, and Python); and metrics integration with Prometheus, PagerDuty, and Grafana.

Ben is an amazing mentor! He spent time making sure I understood the application (Grafana) and walked through how to build a dashboard and set up alerts for my graphs. Ben is patient and makes sure you have a good understanding of the topic. I recommend working with Ben as he is knowledgeable on Docker, Grafana, and more. Our session was very helpful and hope to work with you again!
