About

I am a multidisciplinary developer and student with experience managing inventory systems and technical consulting. Most recently, I have been working as a Systems Architect & Technical Consultant since 2026, building custom web environments and providing SEO consulting. My career spans from 2015 to the present, combining retail management and technical development roles. My work spans web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Rust, alongside platforms like Unreal Engine, Unity, and Bevy. I have engineered a custom web environment with meticulous coding practices and performed technical SEO analysis. Additionally, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills through programming in C and Rust, and managed complex inventory and quality assurance systems.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that bridges technical problem-solving with direct user support. With a background spanning frontline healthcare operations, retail management, and freelance systems architecture, I thrive in environments where I can troubleshoot complex issues, streamline workflows, and translate technical concepts into clear, actionable solutions for users
