About
I am a former restaurant/operations manager turned Full Stack Software Engineer with a passion for Javascript, Ruby on Rails, React and Redux. I am also experienced with PostgresSQL, Mongoose, MongoDB, Node.js, Express.js, HTML, and CSS.
I have always had a passion for building something with my two hands, whether it was a dish, computers or code. Knowing the product that I helped build can help someone else out gives me a great sense of achievement and shows that I am capable of helping even more people. I am always searching for ways to improve and develop my skills. One thing that I want to learn in the future is Python, particularly learning about Artificial Intelligence. It intrigues me that technology is rapidly growing and I want to contribute as much as possible.
Before I was a Full Stack Software Engineer, I was a restaurant/operations manager. I have trained over 15 managers, and have worked with a diverse team of over 60 staff members. I have done food safety audits, inventory control, implementing schedules, and many other administrative duties. As the COVID pandemic approached, I saw it as an opportunity to pursue my previous career path which was Software Engineering.
Besides coding, some of my hobbies are fishing, hiking, camping, and playing video games. I enjoy doing outdoor activities with my friends.
