Portrait of Colin

Software Engineer

Personal Portfolio

Hi, I'm Colin

I am a Software Engineer, with a year of Full Stack Development experience; I build full-stack web applications that are fast, secure, and easy to use.

My focus is on the JavaScript ecosystem (React, Angular, TypeScript). Over the last year, I've handled everything from front-end UI components to back-end database optimizations at companies like ClassLink and Unadat.

I graduated from Queens College (CUNY) in three years and I am currently looking for my next Engineering role in the Greater NYC area.
