Hey! I'm Dawn, a Software Engineer with several years of experience based in Seattle, WA.

I'm currently working Full-Time as a Software Development Engineer at Clearwater Analytics.

I've been writing code since I was 13 years old, and even now technology still fascinates me. I take pride in my adaptability, communication, and attention to detail. I never hesitate to learn a new technology, even for a single project. And once I pick something up, I'm unlikely to forget about it. My primary skills are in full-stack software development, particularly Web Development, but I've experimented in all sorts of things, and I'm always eager to expand my skill set.

Particular proficiencies of mine include React, JavaScript/Typescript, HTML/CSS, Java, and Python.

In my free time, you'll catch me playing rhythm games, practicing art, working on my personal hardware and software projects, or looking into new opportunities for growth. Feel free to shoot me a message, I'd love to chat!
