My passion is learning to code and applying what I learn everywhere that I possibly can. JavaScript was my initial language learned, then Ruby, and now I'm focusing on Elixir and Phoenix.

I started out in the EdTech space (Canvas LMS, GetBridge) and progressed into the world of engineering until I finally got an engineering role in March 2022.

If you’d like to follow along, I’m documenting my Elixir studies via @elixir_studies and (coming soon!) I'll have notes in a GitHub repository.

If I’m not coding, I'm probably spending time with my four daughters, playing Skyrim, or building something.

I'm open to

open source contributions,

giving resume feedback,

participating in user research,

volunteering,

writing,

mentoring,

speaking on podcasts,

partnering on side projects,

and beta testing new products.
