👋 Hey there! I’m a Ruby on Rails and React engineer with a passion for crafting clean code and creative solutions. I thrive on building dynamic web applications that not only perform well, but also deliver an awesome user experience. I’ve worn many hats in my career, too. Before diving into the world of software engineering, I spent time as a hairstylist and music teacher, so I’m no stranger to creativity, adaptability, and working closely with people to make their vision a reality. I spent my career as a hairstylist also working as an educator and mentor with Redken and Summit Salon Business Center. When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me curled up with a good book, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or hanging out with my cats. (My cats are the tech leads. I don't make the rules).
