Joseph Macallan Savett's Portfolio

👋 Greetings! I am Macallan Savett, a Software Engineer with a rich history in customer service, analytics, and the real estate sector, currently innovating at Skilljar. The realm of software engineering fascinates me with its promise of continuous learning and an optimal work-life balance.

📊 Professional Journey:

Transitioning from real estate, where I managed extensive databases and engaged in high-stakes negotiations, I found my true calling in technology. The shift was driven by a desire to blend analytical acumen with creative problem-solving, steering impactful projects from conception to deployment.

⚽ Beyond Coding:

Beyond the keyboard, I serve as an assistant coach for a youth soccer club, fostering team spirit and athletic excellence. This role has honed my leadership skills and enriched my understanding of teamwork and strategy.

🏃‍♂️ Pursuits & Ambitions:

My personal endeavors span from the thrill of skiing to the art of gastronomy, with the discipline of soccer at their core. Embarking on a thrilling sprint through the 10k circuit, I've recently triumphed in a half marathon. Charged with adrenaline and ambition, I'm lacing up for another. As for the full marathon, I tip my hat to the long-distance runners while contentedly cheering from the sidelines – that odyssey is a marathon in itself!
