Full-Stack Developer (Python · JavaScript · TypeScript · React · Flask) · Top 5% Performer Making the Jump to Tech
From 13 years as a top performer in financial services to building React SPAs, Flask REST APIs, and deployed full-stack applications. I bring the same competitive drive that earned me up to $10K in monthly bonuses to every line of code I write.
Tech Stack
Portfolio
6 months in, coursework complete, and graduation bound. Real projects, real code — from React single-page apps and Python OOP to a deployed full-stack REST API with an automated CI/CD pipeline. Here's what I've built along the way.
A fully deployed REST API for managing a mechanic shop's customers, mechanics, service tickets, and inventory. JWT-secured routes, interactive Swagger documentation, a 37-test automated suite, and a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that only deploys to production after every test passes.
A full-stack e-commerce app with real user accounts, Firestore-backed product catalog, and order history. Firebase Authentication handles login/signup, Redux Toolkit and sessionStorage manage a persistent cart, and TanStack React Query drives data fetching. Deployed live on Vercel.
A fully functional backend REST API for an e-commerce platform. 15 endpoints supporting full CRUD for Users, Products, and Orders with one-to-many and many-to-many relational database architecture. Tested and documented with a full Postman collection.
Full-stack account receivables management app. Flask REST API with SQLAlchemy + SQLite backend, React + Vite frontend. Features live stats, status filters, and full CRUD — deployed on Render and Netlify.
A responsive e-commerce SPA consuming a live REST API with dynamic product rendering, client-side routing, CRUD operations, and loading/error state management.
A text-based RPG built with advanced Python OOP — multiple character classes, inheritance, combat logic, and full game state management. Demonstrates clean architecture.
A persistent command-line task management app with file storage, exception handling, and clean UX. Demonstrates modular design, OOP principles, and real-world data persistence.
About Me
I spent 7 years at Discover Financial and nearly 6 at Bread Financial doing one thing consistently — finishing 30–50% above performance baseline and earning up to $10,000 in monthly bonuses. I wasn't just hitting goals. I was raising them.
In March 2026, I made the decision to go all in on tech. I've now completed all coursework in Coding Temple's Full-Stack Web Development program — building React applications, Python projects, and Flask REST APIs with automated CI/CD deployments — and I'm finishing my career development coursework ahead of graduation.
I bring what most bootcamp grads don't: 13 years of data analysis, process optimization, regulatory compliance, and a track record of outperforming under pressure. I've now relocated to Richmond/Chesterfield, VA and am actively seeking IT Support, Technical Support, Application Support, Customer Experience, or Software Development roles.
