Backend-Focused Software Engineer
Backend-focused software engineer building type-safe APIs with TypeScript, Express, and PostgreSQL. Shipped session-based auth and Drizzle/Prisma-backed services on personal projects, and landed a Windows build-stability fix in Spacedrive, a 38k-star open-source file explorer. Currently completing an Associate of Arts in Computer Science at Palm Beach State College. Open to backend/full-stack roles and open-source collaboration.
