About me

I'm Omar, a Software Engineer with a passion for dynamic and creative web development with a previous background in technical recruiting. I am someone that loves working on challenging problems and really seeking to understand how things work under the hood. Web development stands out to me because it allows me to design and develop my own applications from nothing and seeing it become something that can be used by anyone on the internet. I'm really passionate about coding, especially the backend side of web development! When I'm not working on my personal projects, you can find me out on the soccer field or restaurant-hopping to find my next favorite sushi and ramen spot.

I have gained skills and experience working with React.js, Redux, JavaScript(ES6), Ruby on Rails, Ruby, Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and HTML5/CSS3.

Projects

Through my time at App Academy and afterwards, I have had the opportunity to gain a ton on experience with working on a wide range of projects. I gained practice with using React, Redux, Ruby on Rails, Express, and MongoDB to create some quality web applications. The projects that I am most proud of are all below!
