I am a problem solver who loves coding both independently and in a team environment. Mastering new technologies and frameworks brings me a great sense of joy and has led to me developing expertise in JavaScript, Node.js, React, Redux, Express, Sequelize, Python, Flask, and SQLAlchemy. Prior to becoming a software engineer I studied biochemistry and microbiology and held research positions focusing on genetic engineering and mass spectrometry methodology. My interest in software engineering stems from my video game development hobby and the fulfillment I get from writing functional, efficient code. I look forward to leveraging my programming skills in my future endeavors.
