As a skilled software developer, my expertise spans over six years of full stack development and encompasses diverse technical roles and industries. I’m known for applying my expert insights, innovation, and leadership to advise business partners and technical teams on the best solution options to meet a variety of organizational goals. I’m also known for being a strategic, data-driven thinker with strong skills in data analytics, data extraction, and translating data insights for techies and non-techies to use in reporting and business decision-making.One of the things that I’m most passionate about with software engineering is that it allows me to leverage my deep desire to continue learning and working with cutting edge technologies in ways that contributes to solving important problems. My career has been characterized by exploring new technology horizons and my enthusiasm for new challenges.What I love about my chosen career, software engineering, is it allows for the construction of virtual worlds where people can explore and interact. I can trace this interest back to when I was a kid, growing up in a household where books were treasured and devoured. I was constantly exposed to tales of magical lands, dystopian futures, and epic adventures. It's no wonder that my fascination with people's ability to create other worlds and transport readers to new realms became deeply ingrained in me. As I grew older, I discovered another method of world-building that captured my imagination: coding. To me, writing lines of code and programming software is akin to being a literary architect, with both books and code having the power to transport us to new places, solve a myriad of problems, and open our minds to new possibilities, which I find that endlessly thrilling.At this point in my career, I’m interested in joining a company that welcomes people like me who are a little bit unusual, giving them the chance to grow into new fields of software engineering like machine learning and natural language processing regardless of which walk of life they come from. Companies that recognize the value that people like me bring through their passion to contribute and achieve outstanding organizational outcomes. Companies that value and acknowledge its employees, with the philosophy that providing its employees with a happy and balanced environment allows them to thrive and excel both personally and professionally.What do I do in my free time? I learn, learn, and then learn some more. Then I hike, read, bake, bike, yoga, puzzle, and sudoku!
