Hey, I'm Dylan Walker - a software engineer specializing in building full-stack web applications.

So far, I’ve had the privilege of working with engineers and developers from various backgrounds, including my current role at LPL Financial, my time at ScaleSec, and contract work at InfiniteInfo.
Currently, I'm focused on building meaningful fintech software @ LPL Financial, but I'm always happy to chat—whether you have questions or want to explore a potential collaboration. My inbox is always open!
