I'm a former bio-research tech, turned code cruncher and bug slayer. My first programming languages were HTML and CSS when I was thirteen. I wanted to design a pretty page for my Neopets guild, so I taught myself what I needed to know. I enjoy solving problems from a logical perspective. I decided to make the switch to programming because I because I love the high of implementing a creative solution and seeing the results immediately.

I'm currently looking for exciting opportunities as a full stack developer. Check me out on LinkedIn!
