Shaun Dawson

A Results-Driven Software Developer & Documentary Filmmaker with 8+ years of experience turning tech headaches into seamless solutions—and stories into impact. I thrive on problem-solving, process optimization, and building scalable systems, whether it's through code or film. Whether I’m crafting clean software, automating workflows, or diving into investigative storytelling, I’m all about making things smarter, faster, and more meaningful.

🛠 What I Do Best:

🔸 Full-Stack Development – Crafting dynamic apps and internal tools with JavaScript, React, Python, and Java. Whether it's front-end magic or back-end wizardry, I got it.

🔸 Automation & Process Optimization – Cutting out the busywork with smart automation scripts that keep things running efficiently.

🔸 Technical Troubleshooting & Software Support – If it's broken, I’ll fix it faster than you can say “turn it off and on again.”

🔸 Security & Performance Enhancement – Collaborating with teams to tighten security, boost performance, and refine product requirements.

🔸 Technical Documentation & Best Practices – Writing clear documentation so solutions stay scalable and sustainable.

🎬 Beyond Code:
I’m also a documentary filmmaker using storytelling to spotlight issues that often go unheard. My short film, Assigned Sex, explores the silence surrounding transgender lives in New York State and across the country. More projects are in the works, diving deeper into stories that need to be told.
