With 5+ years experience building and maintaining production web apps, a decade of previous professional experience as a writer, and a passionate and creative mindset, I bring a uniquely varied skillset to my work as a software engineer.I've always loved learning. In my past life as a writer, I would constantly explore new subject matter in order to better convey it to readers. The topics might be different these days, but the drive to learn and apply knowledge remains, whether I'm diving headfirst into a new stack, debugging complex CI/CD issues during deploys, or dissecting the industries I work in. It's this passion for knowledge -- and my ability to use that knowledge to solve problems on the fly -- that is my greatest asset. Whether in a scrappy startup or leading a global team of engineers, I'm eager to continue growing, honing my skills, and expanding my ability to take on complex challenges.
