I design and code technical solutions for clients with an emphasis on scripting and automation development.
My areas of expertise primarily involve tasks like web scraping, server-side scripting, API development, and administration of all kinds.
I consider myself a clever solution designer that automates my clients’ processes, solving their problems so that they can focus on bigger things.
I am also a developer, so I have the ability to diagnose a wide range of issues, maintaining the solutions I develop.

I have over 3 years of experience with Linux and use bash scripting as my primary automation tool. In addition, I frequently use docker and docker-compose to deploy solutions for clients.

The first programming language I learned back in 2016 was good ol' Javascript. I first mastered basic web development, but then quickly moved on to server-side development with Node.js. Currently I use React.js as the primary frontend for my personal projects, and I have recently dabbled in multiple serverless frameworks for JavaScript.

Jesse is one of the greatest freelancers I've ever worked with, and I will continue to in the future. Highly recommend!

Jesse was super easy to work with. Will work with him again. My job turned out to be more complex than either one of us anticipated, including fighting issues with the development environment and API. It was very frustrating, but Jesse kept at it and continued to improve the stability of the final code. Super honest and stand-up person! He was very gracious and did not charge me for a lot of his debug work and the time he spent researching solutions to these problems. I would say he is now pretty much an expert with using computer vision (CV) inside UiPath to automate complex projects. It was a painful project and we are both happy that we stuck with it and moved the project into production.

Jesse is a Powershell Ninja. He has vast knowledge on different domains of Microsoft and is very well versed with SQL. Apart from these, he has the zeal to learn new technologies and has the capability to grasp things extremely fast. Besides talent, he has extreme dedication and commitment levels. This project had severe deadlines to deal with. However, Jesse worked for almost 15 hours continuously to get it done. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
