Hey there! 👋

I'm Karl, a full-stack software engineer with a passion for crafting code and creating meaningful digital experiences. Over the past 3+ years, I've immersed myself in the dynamic world of software engineering, honing my skills and pushing boundaries.

In my most recent adventure at Covey.IO, I had the incredible opportunity to contribute to the financial technology industry. Starting as a front-end engineer, I quickly moved up the ranks to become the Lead Software Engineer for Covey.IO's flagship product, 'Training Club' – a web-based mock portfolio builder. Not to brag (well, maybe just a little), but I turbocharged users' financial performance data charts by a whopping 500%. Beyond that, I played a pivotal role in building client-facing systems for Ethereum blockchain transactions, automated monthly crypto payouts, and executed a site-wide facelift based on Figma mock-ups. Talk about a tech makeover!

My journey into the tech realm kicked off with a Software Engineering Internship at Ascend Software LLC, where I delved into AI-driven accounts payable automation for medium to large enterprises. Before that, I dedicated time to Epicodus as a Software Engineering Tutor, helping aspiring developers troubleshoot and optimize web applications.

Now, let's rewind a bit. Back at Clark College, I earned my AA degree in Graphic Design, where I not only immersed myself in the arts but also led photography special projects courses. However, my heart truly found its rhythm during my time at Epicodus' coding boot camp. There, I earned a Certificate in Full Stack Web and Mobile Development, engaging in 2,000+ hours of learning, problem-solving, and collaborative programming. The cherry on top? Winning the Best Interface Design award for my capstone project.

When I'm not pushing code, you'll likely find me scaling rock walls, jamming out as a musician, or capturing moments through the lens as a photographer and artist. These passions fuel my creativity and bring a unique flavor to my work.

So, if you're looking for a tech enthusiast with a knack for turning challenges into triumphs, you're in the right place. Let's build something amazing together!
