About
I've worn many hats in my career.
My diverse professional background has allowed me to develop a
wide skillset and explore my passions at the intersection of
music, science, technology, and service work. These skills
cross over more often than not, which is why I bring my full
self to every challenge. Whether I'm collaborating remotely
with a software development team, or assisting a dental
surgery, my communication and attention to detail are
paramount to success.
Expertise
Experience
As a member of the frontend development team, I empowered college students to tap in to one of the best learning resources they have - eachother. We helped create a robust cross-platform tool using React, Laravel and GraphQL, which included a collaborative whiteboard. The team really emobodied test-driven practices, innovation with tooling, and clean reusable code.
My time here gave me experience in a broad sweep of technologies. Along with full-stack contributions to 4D's web application, I built out companion products that added huge value to our user base. I used React Native for iOS/Android mobile development and pure JS to develop extentions for Chrome, Outlook and Salesforce.
Education
My experience at the best bootcamp in the game gave me the tools needed to thrive in tech. I learned hands-on how to collaborate with a development team, and had a world of tools, languages and frameworks open up to me. It was a rigorous full-time course that left me ready to build, and helped lay the groundwork for me to keep growing as the tech landscape changes.
My time here was short-lived, but gave me a push I needed to expand my endeavors into dentistry and the arts. I enjoyed working on campus in the recording studio, Calculus, Philosophy and Anthropology.
