Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/christytropila

From working in the kitchen of family-owned restaurants to selling beer across 10 counties, customer satisfaction is my expertise. In 2019 I decided to fill the gap between my creativity and love for customer service by learning how to code.
 
In November 2020, I graduated as a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a love for client-side development. I am currently employed as an Engineer part-time for a Fantasy Football startup, and as a full-time Engineer for a Health Innovation company.

I am currently Veeva certified and my everyday technologies include React, Typescript, Node.js, AWS, Larvel, PHP, HTML emails, and GSAP.
