Bio
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my site! I am a junior software engineer / web developer on an exciting journey through the world of code. My first exposure to developement occurred during undergrad when I took an elective computer class. I really enjoyed the course and ended up taking another and another, and eventually graduated with a minor in Information Systems. In hindsight, I wish I would have just majored in Computer Science, but I digress... After school, I spent some time in banking working for JPMorgan and wound up in San Francisco in the retail space. I then moved on to a Fintech startup as employee number 20-something. It was really neat to be in such an early stage company, and as we grew, I found myself in a technical role on the engineering team as a QA Analyst. In that role was really where I became seriously interested in development. I loved watching our engineers work. They would build, break, re-factor, and repeat. It felt like magic. That desire to be a wizard myself led me to enroll at General Assembly and attend their 12-week, full-time web development immersive bootcamp learning the foundations of software development.
Feel free to connect with me about opportunities or for general networking.
Cheers!

Projects
SkiMe
Mobile browser application designed for skiers and snowboarders to see real-time snow condition updates for trails at selected resorts. Frontend views are rendered with React using Bootstrap for the CSS framework. The backend is set up as a Ruby on Rails API serving JSON data. This was an individual project built and designed in a week and half where I wrote sprints, user stories, ERDs and wireframes. The application's design was made to be easy to navigate with a simple UI to remain glove-friendly so users can interact with it while on the chairlift.

Battleship
Traditional game of Battleship utilizing a 10 x 10 grid for placing and guessing ship locations. This was a four member group project built in a week and half using the MERN stack of Mongoose, Express, React and Node. The design focus was tailored to resemble the appearance of a vintage arcade game.

Vagabond
Full stack web application where users can create an account and leave reviews about cities they have visited. For this partner project, we used Ruby on Rails for handling an MVC framework. Bootstrap was used throughout as the CSS framework to maintain a clean and simple styling for the carousel, forms, buttons, and overall layout.
