My core tenets of software engineering are: "The best code you can write is none" - meaning that you should strive to communicate clearly, use existing code/frameworks/best practices, and find the best possible solution before you write any code. If you're lucky, a solution to the problem can be found without any additional code being written. "Embrace being wrong" - meaning, take your ego out of the equation and learn to gracefully accept and acknowledge when a better or more correct solution has been discovered by someone else. ---- As a Senior Software Engineer at Learning.com, I leverage my 18+ years of experience in the education technology industry to deliver high-quality software solutions that enhance the learning outcomes of millions of students. I have a strong background in both DevOps and Software Engineering, with skills including C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, ASP.NET Core, Docker, Amazon Web Services, Heroku, MongoDB, Redis, Amazon RDS, Amazon ECS, Angular, React, Express, Elasticache, Linux Administration, just to name a few. I am passionate about customer success and user experience, and I collaborate closely with the product organization to understand their requirements and expectations. I also maintain a focus on security and performance, and I recently obtained the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification to keep up with the latest best practices. I enjoy working with a diverse and talented team of engineers, and I am always eager to learn new technologies and methodologies that can improve our software development lifecycle.
