As a self-taught developer, I built my first app three years ago and committed to a rigorous self-designed program of study. With six months of production experience as an independent contractor at a video streaming startup, I have firsthand knowledge of building and deploying scalable solutions under pressure. My background also includes five years of non-profit leadership and a continuous career as a music teacher, where I honed my ability to learn, adapt, and lead by example. I hold an M.M. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
I thrive in challenging environments, whether it's unraveling complex systems or finding innovative solutions to tough problems. For me, coding is not just a profession—it's a craft that demands discipline, precision, and creative thinking. I approach every project with focus and determination, embracing the intricate complexity of this field as an opportunity to grow and deliver results.
I'm passionate about refining processes and embracing continuous improvement. This focus allows me to deliver transformative user experiences through steady, efficient work. I see the big picture, keeping accessibility in mind and ensuring solutions that work for everyone.
Outside of coding, I enjoy cycling, yoga, playing music, cooking, and learning new languages.
