I'm a software developer that is passionate about crafting applications that are human-centered and
accessible.
In March of 2024, I decided to pivot from my career in higher education to the world of software
development. I attended
Emerging Digital Academy (EDA), where I learned to build full-stack applications using PostgreSQL, Express, React and Node.js.
I recently completed an internship as a front-end developer at
Scheels, where I enhanced the functionality and accessibility of the Scheels mobile app for both iOS and Android
using React Native and TypeScript. This experience really sparked my interest in building user-friendly
and accessible experiences. Being able to put myself in the shoes of the user makes the work all the more
engaging and fulfilling for me.
Before Scheels, I completed an internship at
Bell Bank as a full-stack
software engineer. I was able to round out my previous web dev heavy experience by learning about C#, .NET
and Azure DevOps. Additionally, I learned about jQuery and Razor for creating dynamic front-end pages for
.NET.
I am currently searching for a new opportunity where I can continue to build upon my skills as a
developer. I'm a naturally creative person, and so front-end concepts tend to come more natually to me,
but I enjoy the challenge of digging into back-end concepts and making sure software is secure, scalable
and stable.
