I'm a full-stack web developer and instructor with a background in fine arts, design, and medicinal chemistry. Currently, I am working in the field as a Software Engineer at Plusgrade and as an Instructor at Lighthouse Labs. I'm interested in working with modern web technologies, app architecture, and increasing platform stability and performance.
Having studied both painting & illustration as well as biopharmaceutical sciences, my perspective is at once creative and analytical. I'm a meticulous and dynamic person and always take the time and effort to fully understand the challenges I'm presented with. I have a particular ability to work things out independently but also thrive in team environments of motivated individuals who value ownership, and accountability.
