Hey, I'm Dawson.

I'm a Software Engineer

I'm also a computer science student at Andrews University who loves learning new code and bringing ideas into reality. I recently finished an internship at Warner Bros. Discovery and now I'm going to take the skills I learned there and look for my next opportunity.

About.

Hey! I'm Dawson, if you haven't already gathered that by now. I started my coding journey as a computer science student at Andrews University. I specialize in full stack development, primarily TypeScript, React, NodeJS, and AWS, but love building with whatever tools are right for the job.

I recently finished an internship as a software engineer intern at Warner Bros. Discovery. Going through the whole software development life cycle, I built an internal tool that is being used to identify workflow failures and ultimately improve their development pipelines.

Outside of work, I love to play volleyball and film videos with my friends. These are my favorite passions that allow me to stay healthy and have a creative outlet 🎥

Currently I'm focused on making the most out of my internship and learning as much as I can from everyone around me. If you'd like to chat, exchange stories, or make a new friend, let's connect 🔗
