📌About Me: I am a backend developer currently finishing up a 9-month full time program at BloomTech (formerly Lambda School). Our curriculum is developed in partnership with Amazon based on their Amazon Technical Academy. Thus I am especially familiar with the technologies used in Amazon backend development, including many AWS services. In addition to my time at BloomTech, I've spent a great deal of my own time learning and exploring new technologies. For several years prior to making the change to software engineering, I worked in the education industry. My most recent position was as a Scoring Director at Pearson where I oversaw the scoring of a variety of standardized tests and certification programs. 📌Skills: Java | Python | Kotlin JavaScript | React | HTML | CSS Spring Boot | AWS Lambda DynamoDB | Relational Databases 📌Contact: Email: [email protected] GitHub: https://github.com/daslater
