I'm Alby
As a creative, solutions-oriented software engineer, my favorite place is a blank text editor. Being a kinesthetic learner, all I’ve known from a young age has been how to build and break things in order to just recreate them. One of the most gratifying feelings is coming up with a creative solution to a problem while collaborating with others. Currently, what I enjoy most as a developer is the ability to have a hands on approach to how things work and how they can be improved.
My experiences with people, in sales, business, and web development allows me to be a multifaceted devloper where I can maximize overall company efficiency. Being a great communicator and having a people-first mentality has contributed to my success. This outlook has allowed me to think like a user, the experience, and finally, as a business as well.
