I'm an engineer, teacher, and actress living just north of San Francisco in rural Sonoma County. I make my living building things in bits and bytes and teaching others to do the same. A former high school Computer Science teacher, I now work in technical customer solutions and success where I thrive on unblocking customers, wrangling bugs, and explaining APIs. I keep my teaching skills sharp as an adjunct instructor of Front End Development and Data Engineering for Promineo Tech.I'm a graduate of Rachael Adler's 1-year conservatory program at Waterfront Playhouse in Berkeley, CA. You can sometimes find me in student films playing Drunk Mom. credentials 'n' fancy stuffTriplebyte Certified Front End, Back End, Distributed Computing, ReactAWS Cloud PractitionerMicrosoft Azure FundamentalsM.A. English Language and Linguistics, University of MichiganB.A. English and Philosophy, SUNY GeneseoThe nuts 🥜 'n' bolts 🔩I am good with people, but I can also make my way around the following:Programming Languages: Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, TypeScriptWeb Development: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, Node.js, CSS frameworksBackend Development: Express.js, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Spring BootDatabases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQL ServerData Warehouses: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, DatabricksData/Analytics Engineering: SQL, dbt, orchestrationAPIs: SOAP, REST, GraphQLVersion Control: Git, Github, GitlabTesting: Unit Testing, Test Driven Development (TDD), Mocha, ChaiInfrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, CloudFormationContinuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub ActionsContainerization: Docker, Docker ComposeContainer Orchestration: Kubernetes, Amazon EKSMonitoring & Logging: Prometheus, Grafana, DatadogNetworking & Security: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Load Balancers, Firewalls, VPN, TLS/SSL, IAMAmazon Web Services (AWS): EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, VPC, CloudFront, Route 53Microsoft Azure: Virtual Machines, App Services, Azure Functions,Google Cloud Platform (GCP): Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud StorageCloud Security: Security Best Practices, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Security GroupsServerless Architecture: AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions
