Driven by a passion for technology and customer engagement, I transitioned from a retail background to a career in coding through the Arkansas Coding Academy. My journey began as an Associate Messaging Developer at Merkle, where I quickly advanced to the role of Messaging Developer within a year. In my current role, I develop complex and customized HTML email code that closely matches original creative designs and adheres to industry best practices. My responsibilities include managing dynamic content, ensuring quality assurance, and deploying error-free final lists. I collaborate with production managers to coordinate campaign assets, meet publication deadlines, and adapt to evolving client needs.As I look to the future, I am excited to transition from my current role as a Messaging Developer into the field of AI and Machine Learning. My passion for AI has been a driving force throughout my career, and I’m eager to deepen my expertise in this area. To facilitate this transition, I am currently enrolled in an AI and Machine Learning bootcamp, where I am acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in this rapidly evolving field. I’m excited to apply my experience as a Messaging Developer along with the new AI skills I’m gaining from FullStack Academy to secure a role in the world of artificial intelligence.
