So funny story.....I was a developer long before I ever wrote a line of code, and I knew it! When I was in 5th grade, my math teacher bet me 20 dollars that I had incorrectly solved an equation that he wrote on the board. To everyone’s amazement, and just a bit to my own, I became the class nerd that day —with a school years' worth of bragging rights, a slightly embarrassed math teacher, and 20 dollars that I could add to my—at that time—literal piggy bank. I have always been a strong problem solver in so many ways, which only boosts my love for the software engineering craft. Folks in this line of work are thee most nitty-gritty problem solvers. Fast forward to my adulthood, I find myself thriving in professional roles where solution engineering is key. Learning systems and processes, and pondering on how I can make them better is fundamental to my livelihood. It just makes me happy. SO, when the opportunity to become a full-stack developer crossed my path, I knew that I was in for a joy ride, one packed with discovering more of who I already am in an official capacity. Focus areas that I have under my belt include C#, .NET Framework, SQL, AWS, ReactJS, Angular, Material, Figma, Ionic and Cordova. Also—real quick—who says problem solvers can’t be people lovers? Tell me, so I can introduce myself. It just so happens that another of my bigger motivators in life is to connect well with others. Whether a scrum master, a fellow front-end developer, a back-end developer, people are the true life force behind any project or application. Structurally working on a team to produce effective results for stakeholders and product owners give me happy feels, too! I want to hear about you! What drives you and your organization?
