Software engineer with 4+ years of experience and an appetite for growth. Skilled in both individual and collaborative planning of projects, proactive consideration of user needs, balancing development cycle priorities, and dedicated to delivery of well polished products. Driven by curiosity, and hungry for challenge. I'm always chasing that feeling when something new just "clicks".I love diving deep into what makes things work, breaking them apart, and putting them back together. Growing up, I was a timid kid until art and web design classes broke me out of my shell, and taught me to never be afraid to try something new.College gave me a taste of everything, and my first developer position at StuffRaiser showed me I was made of the right stuff as I gained confidence in React and tackled my first real world problems. Combined Curiosity widened my horizons as I collaborated across teams to create new tools. Mainly we used React, Next, Node, PostgreSQL with Supabase and Prisma, and AWS. The side projects I have picked up in the meantime push my creativity and self reliance, as I practice my Python by creating Discord bots, learn C# by making games with GODOT, and explore a variety of new environments during Github's Hacktoberfest.Although I enjoy solo work as an introvert, I pride myself on my clear communication and am happy to collaborate with others whether they are seniors, juniors, or across teams. My project planning benefits from my art background and attention to detail from a users perspective. I love watching a mockup evolve from a rough sketch to a Figma design, and find it satisfying to break a goal down to eat the elephant one bite at a time.When I'm not coding, I try to spend as much time as I can outside with my husband and our dog. I'm also a marathoner, reading an audiobook a week, and I've always got a painting or a crochet project going.
