Software Engineer I
Chewy

I am currently a full-stack Software Engineer at Chewy where I am a part of a fulfillment technology team. In this role, a typical day involves developing & maintaining microservices that enable the accurate fulfillment of hundreds of thousands of orders for pet parents across the United States.

Through other roles, I have over 2 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer. Some of these roles include:

  • Software Development Co-Op at Chewy
  • Software Engineering Co-Op at Wayfair
  • Swift Mobile Developer for a start-up ShowNxt

I pride myself on being a quick learner and never shy away from learning the best tool for the job. In my experiences, I have worked with many different languages & technologies including Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, AWS, GCP, Terraform, PostgreSQL, SpringBoot, Docker, React, VueJS, among many more.

In college, I took on a second major of Political Science because I have a particular interest in the intersection of technology and public service; I'm passionate that tech can be a force for good.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably running, going to a new café, listening to music, watching too much TV, or annoying my friends.
