Full-Stack Engineer driven by a hunger for continuous learning and a commitment to building a better future through technology. With a unique background and an unconventional path into software development, I bring a fresh perspective to problem-solving and innovation. I thrive in environments where curiosity, knowledge-sharing, and diversity are welcome. While my primary focus is on full-stack engineering, I also have a strong interest in QA and testing. With hands-on experience in JavaScript and React and increasing my skill set in Python, I'm ready to contribute to a dynamic, goal-oriented team and tackle new challenges head-on. Recently, I completed the Justice Through Code (JTC) program from Columbia University, where I gained advanced skills in software engineering, including JavaScript, Python, and a deep dive into full-stack development. This rigorous program enhanced my technical capabilities and strengthened my problem-solving skills. Graduation is set for 9/12/2024 and I can't wait to see what's next in my future.In my last role at Banyan Labs LLC, I participated in a 6-week on-the-job training program focused on developing Full MERN Stack Single Page Applications. This hands-on experience allowed me to showcase my skills in end-to-end web application development. During this time, I actively managed version control and conducted code reviews, contributing to efficient team collaboration.Before transitioning to software development, I had diverse experiences, including exceeding set expectations as a bulk items puller and shipper at Keefe Group, where our team was recognized in 2022 for achieving the best accuracy in the nation. Additionally, I served as a People Department manager at McDonald's, where I hired and trained 15 new employees, expanding the staff from 25 to 40. Other duties included training and scheduling employees.With my various skills I am sure that I can help you and your team find solutions. I would love to discuss potential opportunities where we can achieve that.
