About me
TL;DR
- Former Financial Analyst turned Software Engineer through General Assembly.
- Like a kid in a candy shop, I'm always excited by the number of new programming languages, frameworks, and methods for solving problems there are to learn.
- I sweat the details, whether it's design specifications, edge cases, or thinking through how, as a user, I could try to break my code.
- I love the challenge of tweaking and refactoring my work to try to squeeze out every bit of performance I can.
- Innately pragmatic, I work to implement the best solution for the problem at hand, considering the trade-offs between performance, scalability, and maintainability.
More about me
Working as a financial analyst I started learning Python, which ignited my passion for programming and set me on the path to software engineering. After a few months of building games, working on small projects, and self-study, I decided to take the plunge and enroll in General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive.
Today, I'm a full-stack engineer with experience developing applications using a range of technologies. At INTRFAC3 Platforms Ltd., I lead frontend development, working alongside our designer and backend developer to create a seamless user experience. I'm also developing a full-stack application using Next.js and Flask for people to track their dogs' behavioral issues and gain insights into managing them.
Every day, I look forward to pushing my skills and knowledge further to enhance my code efficiency, system design scalability, and overall application quality. My journey in development has been incredibly exciting, and I never worry about running out of new things to try and learn.
Outside of development, I'm an escape room junkie (please send me any recommendations), a lifelong board/video gamer, and rec volleyball enthusiast. I also love going on adventures with my dog, Watson.
