I'm an early career software generalist currently working with Go, Kubernetes, and Istio. I had a late start into software. When COVID hit, I went back to school and pursued a passion. It was risky, but I couldn’t put it off anymore. Prior, I had a decade-long career in finance. Prior to that, I graduated from a science school with a music degree.I used to be afraid of change -- at some point, that changed as well. Over time I’ve come to view change and “the unknown” as catalysts for growth. Looking forward to the future, its uncertain twists and turns, and its challenges and opportunities.
