Teaching Assistant

I only accept connection requests from people I have worked with, collaborated with before,  or within the DALLAS area as they are in my local community. LinkedIn has a max connections limit and I hit that a long time ago. So to add anyone in must remove a connection I already have. You can follow me for any of the content you want to see and my DMs are open but I can't accept all requests.

Experienced problem solver and leader with a proven track record of success in software development, leveraging Java, Spring framework, or Golang to build scalable and secure solutions that empower businesses and instill trust in users through intuitive React.js frontends.
