After 8+ years in tech sales and management at AT&T and Verizon, I discovered my passion for coding in March 2025. Nine months later, I'm building production-ready applications that solve real business problems and deliver measurable value.

What makes me different? I bring the rare combination of:

• 💼 Business acumen from years of enterprise sales and customer success
• 🎯 User-centered thinking from understanding what customers actually need
• ⚡ Rapid learning ability with a proven track record of mastering new technologies quickly
• 🛠️ Production experience building apps that are actively used in real businesses

I'm not just learning to code, I'm building solutions that matter.

March 2025 - Discovered my passion for coding
Current - Building production-ready applications with modern frontend technologies
Next Phase - Diving into backend development with C#, .NET, and MSSQL

I'm completing Codecademy's Full-Stack Development course while simultaneously building real-world projects that solve actual business problems. My approach: build first, learn deeply, ship fast.

🎯 Business-Minded Developer
8+ years in tech sales taught me to think about ROI, user needs, and business impact—not just code for code's sake.

⚡ Rapid Learner
From zero to production-ready apps in 9 months. I don't just learn syntax—I build solutions.

🔍 Attention to Detail
Every project showcases meticulous attention to UX, performance, and code quality.

🚀 Production-Ready Mindset
My projects aren't just demos—they're built to be used, maintained, and scaled.

🎨 Design-Conscious
I believe great code should look great too. All my projects feature thoughtful UI/UX.

I'm actively looking for remote Frontend or Full-Stack Developer positions where I can:

• Build production applications with modern React/Next.js
• Work with teams that value both technical excellence and business impact
• Continue learning and growing as a full-stack developer
• Contribute to meaningful projects that solve real problems

Ideal Role: Frontend Developer or Junior Full-Stack Developer at an enterprise company with strong engineering culture and mentorship opportunities.

I'm always excited to connect with fellow developers, potential employers, or anyone interested in tech!
