Hey, I'm Dawson.

I'm a Software Engineer

I'm also new grad who recently graduated from Andrews University and now I'm working at Warner Bros. Discovery! Lately, I've been curious about agentic AI and I'm experimenting with different workflows on n8n.

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. Now, I specialize in full stack development, primarily Python, TypeScript, React, and AWS, but love building with whatever tools are right for the job. 🔨

I recently started working as a Software Engineer I at Warner Bros. Discovery on the Media Supply Chain team. Here I'm making sure that media is properly ingested and vetted so people like you can enjoy our content on our platforms like HBO Max! 📺

Outside of work, I'm obsessed with playing volleyball and enjoy taking videos and photos with my Fujifilm. These are my favorite passions that allow me to stay healthy and have a creative outlet 🎥

Currently I'm focused on gathering experiences as an engineer and building my craft. If you'd like to chat, exchange stories, or make a new friend, let's connect 🔗
