Corey's Unique Journey
My path to software engineering didn't start in computer labs. It actually began in marketing strategy rooms. Before getting my computer science degree, I was working with clients to transform their business outcomes through technology. As a marketing specialist, I once helped revitalize a client's digital presence, tripling their search traffic and doubling revenue from online orders. During those campaigns, I noticed something interesting. I found myself more fascinated by the technology enabling these results than the marketing metrics themselves.
This curiosity grew into a real passion. I realized I wanted to do more than just shape digital experiences; I wanted to build them from scratch. Throughout my early career, I worked in various roles from product design to digital brand management. I gradually discovered that I got the most satisfaction from creating tools that directly solved user problems. This realization led me to pursue computer science formally, where I could build technical skills while applying the customer-focused perspective I'd developed in marketing. That combination has become my professional signature.
Today, with expertise in React, TypeScript, and full-stack development, I build more than just functional solutions. I create experiences that feel intuitive and purposeful. My approach combines technical precision with genuine empathy for users, making sure every feature serves a real need. Whether I'm designing interfaces that anticipate behaviors, optimizing performance, or turning business goals into technical solutions, I always keep focus on the real people who'll be using what I build.
What makes my work different is this dual perspective: I understand both the business goals driving development decisions and the technical constraints that shape what's possible. This allows me to bridge communication gaps between stakeholders and development teams. I can translate complex technical concepts into clear business benefits and turn ambitious business goals into realistic technical plans.
I'm genuinely committed to creating technology that makes a real difference. By combining technical expertise, marketing insights, and human-centered design principles, I develop solutions that are effective and meaningful. I see each project as a chance to create something that improves lives while delivering tangible business results. This balance is increasingly what defines successful digital innovation today, and it's where I excel.
