About Me

I’m a software engineer excited to bring my integrity-centered professionalism, communication skills, and curiosity to my next opportunity.

I enjoy problem-solving, and I opt for a structured approach because I recognize the importance of understanding the problem I’m trying to solve first. I’ve learned that a well-thought-out algorithm is better than writing a premature solution based on assumptions made at a glance.

I have a strong command of Ruby and JavaScript, as well as a deep understanding of programming concepts. This solid background allows me to ramp up on new technologies quickly, much like a polyglot learning their 3rd or 4th language.

I recently concluded a stint leading a women’s programming group, which I did for 1.5 years. During that time, I honed my leadership skills as I collaborated with my co-lead in designing an engaging program. Among our standout events was a Women in Tech Panel with three industry professionals from Mozilla and Gatsby.

I’ve had the opportunity to grow my interpersonal skills with each new personality I’ve worked with, including during my tenure as a team member, then supervisor, with the City of New York, and during the two years I lived and worked in Korea.

I'm still learning and enjoy practicing Korean!한국어를 아직도 배우고 있고 즐겁게 연습해요!

I’m also an avid reader of literature on conflict resolution, and I love sharing ideas on the topic.

As a former licensed massage therapist turned civil servant turned software engineer, I view new experiences as adventures. Meeting new people, learning new things, and facing new challenges are invaluable to personal and professional development.
