πŸ‘‹ Welcome!

My name is Tim. I'm a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, specializing in: Node.js / Express.js, TypeScript / JavaScript, React.js, Python, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB / MySQL / PostgreSQL databases.

I'm a motivated team-player, comfortable with all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle. I continually seek to expand my technical expertise and stay on top of current trends and the latest technologies. I care deeply about my users, polished digital experiences and bringing strong value to my team.

πŸ—£ About Me

My background is in software engineering πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» and environmental science 🌱. I enjoy learning about complex systems and their connections. I believe our well-being depends on a healthy relationship with both technology and ecology -- working together -- for us and for the planet 🌎. I wish to be a part of meaningful projects with honest goals. In my free time, I like to explore my backyard in Washington, learn about new things, or be aimlessly creative.
