My Journey
I'm a software engineer passionate about creating clean, maintainable code and intuitive user experiences. I enjoy breaking down complex projects into manageable pieces and delivering solutions that prioritize quality, performance, and simplicity.
I started in chemistry and math before moving into computer science, applying analytical thinking to programming. I've built full-stack and frontend applications, worked with APIs, and gained experience in DevOps, Terraform, and cloud technologies. My old GitHub history shows projects spanning many years, reflecting my long-term passion for coding and continuous learning.
I thrive on tackling challenging problems, learning new technologies, and contributing to projects that make an impact. Whether it's optimizing performance, improving user experience, or mentoring teammates, I approach every project with curiosity, precision, and a love for elegant solutions.

What Drives Me
Problem Solving
I love breaking down complex challenges into manageable solutions and finding elegant ways to solve real-world problems.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves rapidly, and I'm committed to staying current with new tools, frameworks, and best practices.
Collaboration
Great software is built by great teams. I value clear communication and collaborative problem-solving.
Quality Code
I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that not only works today but can be easily understood and extended tomorrow.
Outside of Work
My lifelong love of gaming sparked my curiosity in technology. I've been fascinated by creating and exploring digital worlds since I was very young. I have been teaching myself to code, Linux, and Windows for over 20 years. I bring a positive attitude and energy to everything I do, whether it's tackling a tricky coding challenge or trying something new.
I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring new experiences. I love spending time with my husband, our son, and our furry family: our dog and two cats. These moments keep me inspired and ready to bring my best to every project.
