About Me

In my youth, having been exposed to my parent's successful Marketing careers, I chose that field as my college major along with a minor in Entrepreneurship. Some time after graduation, I felt that there was still a void that needed to be filled in order to truly present myself as a well-rounded and exceptionally skilled individual to any company seeking someone uniquely prepared for the future, and that future had to include Full Stack Development. Then, about six years ago I had a close group of friends who were all involved in tech in one way or another. I was eventually exposed to programming, and soon after, started teaching myself Python. After some time, I created my first Windows application which minimized all of the user's open windows every hour in order to encourage regular 3-minute walking breaks. This app, although extremely simple, did one very important thing: it confirmed the belief that my professional passion is Software Engineering.

Over the last several months I have been sharpening my skills in JavaScript, Express, Python, Flask, React, and PostgreSQL. As a matter of fact, I've recently built a full stack application that uses a Python backend and a React frontend with a Postgres database. It is a Jira issue tracker clone where users can submit software bugs and track them through their completion.

Given the right scenario, I know that my skills and previous experience will more than allow me to join your team and hit the ground running.
