Full-Stack Software Engineer

Hello! I'm JD, a Software Engineer with experience touching many parts of the stack (frontend, backend, databases, data & ETL pipelines, you name it). Most recently, I spent several years at Google working full-stack on applications that supported our customer service teams. I then switched to working on facilitating our internal teams through frameworks, teaching, and helping them in launching applications. Prior to that, I spent a couple years at First Orion - a smaller data company - helping found & build out a data engineering team as one of the first engineers. We were focused on building data pipelines and models to protect our users from malicious phonecalls. If you know the phrase 'Scam Likely', we were a pioneer :) There is a noticeable gap in my resume where I was dealing with health issues from 2022 - 2024, but am ready to rejoin the industry. I'm passionate about helping others, teaching, and building tools to improve the experience for developers and other end users.
