Gary Shadders

Full-Stack Software Engineer

About Me

I'm a software engineering student at the Rochester Institute of Technology with a strong passion for building practical, impactful solutions. My journey began in game design and IT, but I quickly found my home in software engineering, where I could combine creativity, technical skill, and problem-solving at scale.

Through hands-on projects in full-stack web development, database management, and system design, I've developed a versatile skill set rooted in real-world experience. Whether it's leading technical documentation efforts, designing backend APIs, or collaborating on large team projects, I focus on writing reliable, maintainable code and creating thoughtful solutions to complex problems.

I'm deeply committed to continuous growth — always learning new technologies, refining best practices, and staying connected to the evolving landscape of software development.
