About

As a passionate technologist with a background in business management and the arts, I’ve cultivated a diverse skill set that bridges creativity and technical expertise. My journey began in the music industry, where I honed my ability to manage projects and coordinate events. In 2020, I transitioned into web development, completing an intensive boot camp at LearningFuze, which equipped me with core skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React. Since then, I’ve expanded my technical abilities, working with companies like Elegant Seagulls and IPC Global. My experience includes building web pages, creating powerful data visualizations with Qlik, and leading teams to develop internal tools. Most recently, I’ve been working as a contractor at Vanguard, where I focus on automating software delivery pipelines and building custom solutions using AWS services. Driven by a growth mindset and a passion for problem-solving, I’m always looking for new ways to improve processes, explore innovative technologies, and contribute to impactful projects.
