I am a versatile software engineer with a rich background in Human Biology, now passionately immersed in the world of technology. My technical expertise spans Ruby on Rails, React, Redux, JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and more. After college, I spent a year traveling the globe, visiting over 140 cities across 13 countries on three continents. This experience not only ignited my love for coding but also marked my transition from customer-facing roles to the tech industry. 

My transformative journey refined my organizational skills and imparted invaluable life lessons, shaping me into a more adaptable and resilient professional. I am now eager to join a collaborative team environment where my creative drive aligns with the company's objectives. I am enthusiastic about contributing innovative solutions and leveraging my problem-solving abilities to make a meaningful impact.

In my free time, I indulge in photography, video games, and recreational league sports such as football and basketball.
