About

I’m a web developer working in JavaScript, React, and Node. Driven by a curiosity for understanding how things work, I learn quickly and excel in fast-paced environments.

After completing my bachelor's degree, I moved to New York where I landed my first permanent role at a startup. I immediately found myself in an environment where innovation was encouraged and where I saw designers and developers working on products used by employees, contractors, and clients across the company.

This experience planted a seed in my mind, and a desire to explore programming hasn't left it since. In 2018, I moved to Colorado and started the Full Stack Web Development bootcamp at the University of Denver.

Since finishing the bootcamp, I've focused on sharpening my knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and other computer science topics. With this goal, it made sense to learn back end languages (I chose Go and Java). I love working on the back end but am equally excited by intuitive and efficient UI. In the future, I hope to grow into a full stack role.
