Hello World!
I'm Denise Rose

Who Am I?

I'm a full-stack developer who genuinely enjoys the challenge of turning complex problems into working solutions. My recent highlight was winning first place at Desert Dev Lab Hackathon with OptiGreen a project that optimizes AI performance and reduces energy consumption by 50%. Turns out, building sustainable tech isn't just the right thing to do—it's smart engineering.

I work primarily with Java Spring Boot, React, Javascript, and Docker, building applications that hopefully don't keep anyone up at 3 AM with production issues. My projects include enterprise booking systems with multithreaded services and inventory management platforms—the kind of work where details matter and one misplaced semicolon can ruin your whole day.

Currently finishing my CS degree at Western Governors University (May 2026) while completing an intensive full-stack bootcamp at Deep Dive (December 2025). I'm ITIL® 4 certified and comfortable with agile methodologies, though I'm well aware there's always more to learn in this field.

What I bring: fresh perspective, solid technical foundation, eagerness to learn from experienced developers, and a genuine appreciation for good documentation. I'm looking for a team where I can contribute meaningful work, grow my skills, and build software that people actually want to use.
