My Work History

Background

I entered the Software Engineering industry in May of 2020 while I was finishing my sophomore year of university during the Covid-19 pandemic. As the pandemic started, I used the spare time I gained to begin to teach myself basic HTML, CSS & JavaScript and made some pretty bad beginner websites. I continued to practice & learn other scripting languages like PHP & Python. I also read up on the basics of web requests, asset bundling and the agile development lifecycle. A few months later, I was offered my first position as a Software Engineer at Delivery Circle.

Delivery Circle is a last-mile logistics start up SaaS with a focus in the automotive industry; primarily used for tire delivery. I worked part time at Delivery Circle while I continued to work on my degree from June of 2020 until February 2022 when I was let go from company. During my time there, I became more comfortable with several different technologies including PHP, Laravel, jQuery, Bootstrap, MySQL & more. I worked on several projects with the largest being an order payout dashboard for drivers.

After leaving Delivery Circle, I was hired shortly after by Retail Insights LLC. Retail Insights LLC is an agency that holds a niche in rapidly developing web based software for pharmaceutical wholesalers, and the vendors they wholesale for. At Retail Insights, I've lead & collaborated on internal and client facing tools. Some of those projects include Consumer/Rx drug pricing, promotion & deal bidding, trade-show registration systems, new supplier setup & submission, compliance form handling and more.

In June of 2025, after over 3 years of working as a Mid-Level Software Engineer, I was promoted to a Senior Solutions Engineer. This promotion came with new responsibilities: creating and developing relationships with Fortune 10 stakeholders, scoping six-figure projects, and translating complex proprietary business processes into Laravel-specific technical tasks and tickets. At Retail Insights, I've mastered technologies like Laravel, Livewire, jQuery, MySQL, Bootstrap, etc.
