About

Hi! I’m Ava, a Software Developer who loves untangling complicated problems, improving imperfect systems, and turning ideas into things that actually work. Three years of experience with Angular, TypeScript, and Python/Django, including modernizing legacy applications and building accessible, maintainable front-end solutions. Before moving into software development, spent nearly a decade in animal healthcare building a strong foundation in communication, organization, problem-solving, and working effectively in complex, regulated environments. I have a practical, people-focused perspective to technical work and thrive where technology, collaboration, and continuous improvement intersect.

I also like collaborating closely with stakeholders to refine requirements and deliver features that actually get used. Beyond development, I’ve supported my community in event-driven projects, which strengthened my communication and teamwork skills, so I’m comfortable working in structured, cross-team environments while continuously learning and adapting across technologies.
