Adam Filiz portrait
👋

Hello there, I'm Adam. I'm a full-stack developer with 2 years of experience. I can help you develop exceptional, impactful sites & apps.

About me

Hi there! My name is Adam and I enjoy building tech that positively impacts the lives of those who interact with my work. I started my coding journey by creating a choose-your-own-adventure game in C++. I later discovered robotics and the coding aspects of it, and was hooked to programming ever since. Since then, I’ve graduated UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Computer Science, and worked as a professional software engineer for 2 years.

Recently I’ve had the opportunity to work at the Esports media company Panda Global, as well as to develop the voice assistant Alexa at Amazon Lab126. I enjoyed those roles thoroughly, as the work I did brought joy to many customers worldwide. I'm currently working as a Lab Admin at the networking company Arista Networks, but am seeking to move back into a software-focused role, where I can continue improving customer experiences and growing as a software engineer.

I’m currently seeking full time and contract software engineering positions based in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Boston, and Los Angeles. Feel free to message me and get in touch!
