About    

I'm a full stack software developer with years of experience designing, building, and managing websites. Whether I’m crafting a user interface to perfectly match a design or combing through back-end code to troubleshoot an API response, I’m driven by the deep satisfaction that comes from figuring out tricky problems.

I love collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions that meet both user needs and business objectives. From my previous life in project management and digital marketing, I've developed a talent for translating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and a knack for quickly grasping new tools & technologies.
