I am an experienced and versatile software engineer and solution architect who is passionate about building systems that serve a purpose. Form follows function in the physical world and I believe the same applies to the digital space. I strive to solve problems by marrying a deep understanding of technology with strong business analytics skills. I have experience in all stages of the software development lifecycle from conducting requirement working groups, to designing and overseeing technical development, to supporting long-term operations and maintenance.As a woman leader in a male dominated field, I am passionate about promoting and growing female and minority talent in STEM. Representation is such an important factor in keeping under represented groups in STEM careers for the long-term. I believe it's important to create a safe space where we can find the support and mentorship to thrive in this field.
