HI... I'M RITA.

Full-Stack Developer & Creative Technologist

I build web apps & embedded systems (microcontroller projects) with an obsessive attention to detail.

Hire Me

Full-Stack Web Engineering

Building clean, scalable, production-ready applications.

Expert at designing and coding entire systems — front end, back end, databases, APIs, authentication, and deployment pipelines. I prefer clean structure, reliable patterns, and maintainable code.

Embedded Systems & Real-World Tech

Hardware, firmware, microcontrollers, and electronics.

From ESP32 animation engines to custom sensors, display drivers, servo-controlled robotics, and energy-aware builds — I love connecting software to the physical world.

From pixel rendering and microcontrollers to API design and CI/CD — I keep my skills sharp.

Location

I’m based in the United States, but I work with clients, developers, and teams worldwide.

Community

I enjoy sharing knowledge, supporting local projects, and helping people connect. I’m always interested in highlighting community groups, startups, makers, nonprofits, educational projects, and charitable events doing something positive.

Featured Local Community

Raleigh Social

Looking to meet more people around Raleigh and the Triangle? Raleigh Social is a local Discord community for making friends, finding things to do, sharing recommendations, talking about hobbies and projects, and connecting with other people in the area.

I like supporting spaces that help people connect, collaborate, learn from each other, and build stronger local communities — whether that’s through technology, creative projects, local events, volunteering, small businesses, or simply meeting new people.

View Progress

I build because I genuinely love solving problems.

I’m the type of engineer who learns a new language or framework just to fix something that bothers me. I enjoy understanding how things work at every level — from pixels and UI timing all the way down to memory usage, buffers, and timing loops on microcontrollers. If something breaks, I don’t quit. I debug, dissect, and rebuild it the right way. It’s just how my brain works.
