Licensed skydiver and software engineer. I was previously an A/V Technician for Live Event Production and currently looking for employment as a Full Stack or Frontend Software Engineer, preferably within climate tech. Hardworking, eager to learn, and skilled in communicating with co-workers and clients, as demonstrated from my previous career. I'm particularly proud of my project Flying Fox.

I began my coding journey back in middle school and high school with small, static HTML pages. Since then, I have always been interested in computers, building my own desktops in 2011 and 2018. I expanded my coding expertise with the help of App Academy's online coding boot camp. The projects I developed have all used Git and Github, as well as being deployed on Heroku or Render. Since graduating in December 2022, I have continued to study Data Structures and Algorithms, learned Typescript on my own, worked on a contract with Meta providing support for AR/VR Headset research, improving my skills in Python, Pandas, SQL, and RegEx through mentorship, volunteered with a team to create a website for a LGBTQ+ nonprofit in South Africa, worked with a startup changing how resumes function, and competed in a hackathon for climate tech achieving second in my team's category.

Before becoming a coder, I was an A/V Technician for 6 years at Alaska Universal Productions (AUP), a live event production company in Fairbanks, Alaska. While there, I set up, operated, and dismantled lighting, audio, stage, and video equipment for live events and installations. I was also an arena rigger for events that needed things to be suspended above the floor. At AUP, I was also able to be a production assistant and grip for a few commercial and film productions. I'm proud of the installations that I was able to do there, both in home and in businesses, as well as the skills I learned in lighting and sound design, arena rigging, interpersonal interactions, and customer service.

In my free time, I enjoy skydiving, hiking, snowboarding, rock climbing and playing video games/ board games. The physical, mental, and sometimes challenging nature of these activities keeps me engaged and constantly learning new techniques and skills, similar to how coding and my previous work experience has been. I am proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community and passionate about climate change.
