The reverse job board for Tampa Bay's Developer Community

I fell in love with web design in college when trying to solve problems I saw in my every day life. I started making simple websites by creating a timesheet submission system for the tutoring center I worked for at the time. Later that year I acquired a front end web development internship with a small marketing and design agency in Kalamazoo. They taught me many important skills including Angular, proper way to develop web components and testing my work. They also encourage continuous learning and growth and allowed developers to try new tools in projects. After that experience I gained an appreciation for well designed and fully functional applications as well as development automation. I strive to use these principals in everything I do as well as looking for new opportunities to learn new skills and methodoligies.

Louisville, Ky transplant, still learning my way about Tampa. 10 years in design. I envision myself as a dedicated designer, continuously growing and making a meaningful impact in the field. Always a student.

As a developer I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise rooted in a lifelong passion for technology inspired by my long interest with computer science and my father’s programming work on government projects during the Cold War. My journey led me to an intensive bootcamp at Codeboxx, where I mastered full-stack development including languages and frameworks such as Java, JavaScript, React, React Native, Ruby, Node.js, Node Express, SQL/MySQL, JSON Web Tokens (JWT), HTML, CSS/Sass, and handling HTTP(S) requests. What sets me apart is my ability to combine this technical skill set with a strong work ethic and a customer communication based approach honed during my time as an HVAC technician. I excel at crafting solutions that resonate with end users and my creative problem solving allows me to tackle complex challenges where others might struggle. My diverse skill set enables me to contribute effectively across all aspects of a project making a big impact on any team.

I danced around software engineering for a while, before finding it to be my passion. In college programming 1 and 2 was not interesting to me, and taking up a ruby on rails book didn't help since I had the answers and debugging my errors wasn't needed. After graduating I had the chance to be in a family owner tech business where I managed operations, and decided to learn how to build chatbots using Raza AI through which I also learned how to setup VS Code and Python locally. At this point I was still not hooked. A few months went by and I found myself with what I thought was my dream job opportunity, working as a data analyst for a big real estate management firm. They would mention in passing that they'd like a "web scraper" to get updated listing data for their spreadsheets, and I said "what's a web scraper?". The rest is history. Through my career I have been described as someone with grit, determination, and the ability to learn and implement new technologies/ideas on my own. I think these skills have helped me tremendously at contributing in large systems.

I'm Diego Antolinez, a dedicated software engineer based in Tampa, FL, originally from Venezuela. My journey in technology has equipped me with a strong foundation in languages like Java, Golang, Python, and JavaScript. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with leading organizations such as Kin + Carta and USAA, where I was instrumental in modernizing legacy systems into scalable microservices architectures. This transformation not only improved processing times but also significantly enhanced the overall customer experience. One of my proudest achievements was implementing RESTful APIs and Kafka eventing to modernize the life insurance application process, which elevated customer experience and streamlined application processing time by 25%. Additionally, I've engineered seamless local database integrations and implemented various RESTful APIs that have streamlined processes and boosted efficiency across multiple projects. Beyond my professional work, I'm actively involved in the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). As the Vice President of Marketing since May 2019, I spearheaded a rebranding campaign that significantly increased event attendance by creating consistent marketing materials and a dynamic social media presence. I also coordinated with faculty to reserve venues for workshops, BBQs with industry professionals, and our Hackabull event. Previously, as the Vice President of Technology from May 2018 to May 2019, I managed all aspects of the Second Hack-A-Bull, collaborating with sponsors and the executive board to accommodate 200 attendees and develop professional events that helped students build their technical portfolios. My expertise extends to cloud technologies, including AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Kafka. I thrive in Agile and DevOps environments, where I can deliver high-quality software solutions that align with business goals. My background from Venezuela has instilled in me a strong work ethic and a passion for continuous learning, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of technological advancements. Collaboration is at the heart of my work, and I take pride in fostering effective communication within cross-functional teams. I'm always eager to tackle new challenges and contribute to innovative projects that drive success for the organizations I work with.

I am an engineer who began his journey with a love for taking things apart and building them from scratch. With a strong foundation in software engineering, information security, and hands-on experience with programming technologies such as Java, Python, JavaScript, and SQL, I am passionate about building things and love getting hands-on with problems.

My father purchased an Apple II Plus when I was five years old, and I've been trying to make computers do my bidding ever since. Along the way, I got a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Northeastern University in Boston, worked for a bank on mainframes, wrote code that connected an e-ink display to cellular modem via an Arduino, learned a lot about what makes Agile work (and not work), and got familiar with several programming languages. Recently, I've mostly been working in Arc XP's PageBuilder Fusion - which powers the Washington Post - while also doing occasional maintenance on other systems in languages including Java, Python, and bash scripting.
