From an early age, I've been captivated by technology. Today, I take joy in deepening my technological knowledge to harness its potential for enhancing the well-being of others.Following high school, I enlisted in the Army. In 2017, I pivoted my career path to pursue my passion for technology. Four years later, I graduated debt-free from Utah State University with a degree in computer science, thanks to several grants, scholarships, and the GI Bill. Post-graduation, I married, relocated across the country, and embraced my inaugural role in IT.My most recent role was as a software developer; I swiftly gained proficiency in consulting, insurance, and cloud technologies. I focused on integrating proprietary insurance software for a global client, ensuring a seamless go-live experience without a single reported defect.During my free time, I indulge in running, having completed the Charlotte Marathon in 2012 and 2022. Recently, I welcomed a German Shepherd puppy into my life, dedicating substantial effort to her training. I eagerly anticipate our future runs together once she's prepared.Specialties: Java, Python, SQL, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Terraform, and integrations.Proficiencies: SQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.Interests: React, Amazon Web Services (AWS), microservices, DevOps, and full stack web dev.
