About Me

Full Stack Developer

I'm someone who loves challenges, solving difficult problems, and having fun while doing it.

I discovered my passion for coding in my previous position as an accountant at Ernst & Young. There, I started dabbling in automation. One script led to another, and I became hooked. There was no better feeling than making others' lives easier with tools I personally created.

Deciding to make a career switch, I set out for Silicon Valley to attend a 14-week immersive coding bootcamp where I learned to not only create sleek modern web apps, but better myself as a programmer. I continue to push myself each and every day to create products I am truly passionate about.
