# Maysie Ocera > 🏔️ Challenge Embracer | 🤹 Playful Problem Solver | 🌸 Heart-forward Engineer Location: Queens, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/maysie In 2022, I trekked 500 miles from France across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. This year, I walked 32 miles in a day around the perimeter of Manhattan—and then hopped on a bike the next day to ride 40 miles across all five boroughs. In November, I'll be running the New York City Marathon. I thrive on challenges—and I bring this same drive and dedication to my work. Whether technical or strategic, I believe that big problems are like a hike: best tackled step by step, with curiosity, kindness to oneself and others, and a sense of humor. If your team is looking for someone who balances autonomy and technical chops with buoyancy and positivity (or you just want to say hi!), I'm here. Adept in React, JavaScript, Express, Postgres, and MongoDB, and the so-called "soft skills" that are often quite hard: communication, thoughtfulness, perspective, and good humor.
