Hello, I'm Dalton Babbs.
Software Engineer
I am a Software Engineer with hands-on experience as a Software Development Co-op at UPS, building applications for 30,000+ drivers nationwide. Passionate about creating impactful software solutions.
About Me
I'm a software engineer who loves turning complex, real-world problems into clean, reliable software. Whether I'm designing backend database schemas, architecting REST APIs, or building out smooth user interfaces with React and TypeScript, I genuinely enjoy working across the whole stack.
My background hits both ends of the spectrum-from engineering enterprise mobile apps with C# and .NET to building full-stack web platforms using Node.js and cloud databases. I'm always looking to build things that make people's lives easier.
When I'm stepped away from the screen, you'll usually find me lifting at the gym, hitting the ski slopes, or playing competitive basketball and volleyball with friends.
