About Me

What I'm doing right now

I create mobile applications for Vitalcy, a startup in New York. I mainly use Flutter, but occasionally I am switched onto the React team to help with frontend webapp development. I also work for Flatiron school training the next generation of developers.

How I got into tech

My boss had just offered me a promotion to manage our office as our business expanded. I turned it down. There was something within me that I couldn't understand right then and there - I realized I wanted to build things that would innovate the world, so I started teaching myself Python. I loved it! So I decided to pursue software engineering as a career. I quit my job and studied at Flatiron School, learning Ruby on Rails and React.

How I developed my skills out of bootcamp

I started working professionally as a developer by doing freelance work for a local church. I designed and created a React/Ruby on Rails application that helped faciliated their meetings during COVID-19. From there, I made contributions to the backend of the Dwellingly Project. We created software with that connects property managers with the homeless population in Portland.

Always Learning
