I am a software engineer with a passion for exploring new technologies and sharing my knowledge with others. I can quickly learn new tools and identify where those tools will be useful. My communication skills allow me to understand customer needs, translate those needs into features, and convey those features to team members.I have an open accepting communication style and I’m patient when explaining concepts or trying to ascertain what those around me need. I hold strong opinions while at the same time being flexible. This allows me to consider the opinions of others and learn new things. I believe leadership is mostly about building consensus, fostering good working relationships, and building an open friendly culture. My nursing background, patients, and kindness allow me to build the type of relationships that contribute to a safe and effective work environment.
