About me

I’m Quinn, a software engineer. Currently a Senior Cloud Engineer at Nike's Valiant Labs. My work focuses on API design, development, and deployment using modern cloud technologies. I have professional experience with database noSQL database design, (specializing in Dynamo single-tables), serverless deployments, CI/CD, and building scalable, highly performant services.

I'm passionate about clean, functional, maintainable code. I try to never commit code that couldn't be succinctly explained to a non-software-person. I've authored coding standards and led demos on Node best practices for my team. I take pride in effective communicator, and utilize my experience in business and finance to facilitate translation between business stakeholders and engineering teams.

I graduated in the Spring of 2019 from the University of Oregon with a double B.S in Computer Science and Economics, along with a minor in Business Administration. My proficiency with computer science fundamentals informs my industry work, where I am eager to both educate and learn from those with different backgrounds.

Outside of work, I'm a casual mountaineer (With goals of checking off all of the major Cascade Volcanoes), daring skier, and cautious motorcyclist. I'll take good conversation over anything, and I'm always looking for that next mountain. So don't hesistate to reach out, and thanks for stopping by.
