Hi, I'm RO - a passionate software engineer with a strong desire to use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in the world. I'm an introvert, like most devs, but suffer from impostor system at times. I've always found it challenging to put myself out there and share my ideas with others. However, I've realized that my voice and my unique perspective are valuable, and I'm determined to overcome my shyness and show the world what I have to offer.

Over the past few years, I've honed my skills as a software engineer, working on a wide range of projects that have pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I've had the privilege of working with a variety of clients, including private companies in Maryland and various government agencies. Through these experiences, I've learned the value of perseverance, hard work, and collaboration, and I'm constantly seeking out new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow.

As an African American software engineer in a field where there is somewhat a lack of diversity, I'm committed to using my skills to not only make a positive impact in the world but also to inspire others from underrepresented communities to pursue careers in tech. I recognize the challenges that come with being a minority in this industry, and I want to use my experiences to help others overcome similar obstacles.

In my experience, a more diverse workforce in the tech industry brings fresh perspectives and ideas, leading to more innovative solutions and I want to help create a more inclusive industry for future generations.

I invite you to read my posts and share your comments with me via Twitter or email. I hope to provide a platform for sharing my experiences and insights with others in the software engineering community. I want to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems and to learn from their experiences as well. By coming out of my shell and showing the world who I am, I hope to inspire others to do the same and to make a meaningful difference in the world through software engineering.
