About
Hello! My name is Alan.
I am a lifelong learner who strives to be a positive force in any team and organization I serve.
Professionally, I create value by building web applications with an assortment of technologies . My mind for research, user experience and software engineering guide my approach to building products. Equipped with a human centered design approach and a full-stack development toolset, my interest is building teams and solutions to address UX and software engineering challenges.
Web tech I use regularly includes:
- Javascript
- Python
- Ruby on Rails
- Node
- Express
- Mongo
- Postgres
- CSS
- SVG
- Git
- AWS
- Heroku
- Netlify
- Webpack
- Babel
- React
I’m also particularly keen to earn a role as a leader in product strategy and development. I strive to keep a mindset that makes me willing and able to take on planning, road mapping, and stategic responsibilities. My morale is highest collaborating with intelligent, respectful colleagues beyond the confines of individual code contributions.
Personally, I'm passionate about cycling. I commute NYC on a cross bike; train indoors and outdoors in hopes of achieving peak fitness; and at my best I enjoy competitive bike racing. Cycling helps me balance my energy levels to stay positive, healthy, and strong. As does dance! Another favorite pasttime is latin dance.
