My Style

I'm a software developer with experience leading teams up to twenty people to maximize efficiency and oversee collaborative creative environments. My previous experience includes planning and launching a private business that involved resource and time management, customer service skills, and active problem-solving. I maintain a high standard of work ethic and self-teaching. I'm a recent graduate of the Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp at UNC Charlotte, receiving a certificate for front and back-end development including HTML5, JavaScript, APIs, and React. I'm excited to apply skills in problem-solving and leadership to software development while continuing to learn and flourish.
