$ cat about.txt

My path to software engineering was anything but a straight line — and I think that makes me a better engineer for it. I spent years as an ESL teacher, breaking down complex ideas for adult learners. Turns out that's basically the job description for a great developer.

After completing General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive, I dove straight into production work — shipping a veterans' document platform at Trajector, then joining Brewer Science's Enterprise Applications team where I build cloud-based tools that real employees rely on every day.

I'm equally at home in React components and AWS Lambda functions. Understanding the whole stack makes every layer of your code better. Also: cat therapy is an underrated debugging strategy.

// user_first

Every feature starts with the person who has to use it. Elegance means nothing if the UX is confusing.

// full_stack

Knowing how the DB query affects the API affects the React state makes you better at every layer.

// ship_iterate

Working software over perfect software. Agile isn't just a methodology — it's how you learn fast.

// cat_driven_dev 🐾

Curiosity, a healthy nap schedule, landing on your feet when deploys go sideways.
