J. Duke
I'm a software engineer with 13+ years of experience across mobile, full-stack, gaming, and automation. I've built and shipped real products, worked through the messy parts, the architecture decisions, the "why isn't this working" moments, and I enjoy helping others get unstuck and move forward.
Whether you're debugging a tough problem, trying to work through something that can't just be Googled, or need someone experienced to think through a problem with you, I'm happy to dig in. I don't have a one-size-fits-all approach. Some people want the answer explained step by step, others want to be guided to it themselves. I try to figure out what actually works for you and go from there.
