I am a creative full stack web developer with my roots in visual art. I graduated college with a BA in theatre design and worked in that field for years. While I was designing, building, and collaborating backstage, I developed a strong set of soft skills: lateral problem solving, working on small teams of strong personalities, clearly communicating abstract ideas with teammates that may not have the same lingo. After leaving the arts for tech, I cultivated a repertoire of web development skills. I am full stack though have been working primarily in the back end in my most recent job. I'm excited to keep building my tool set and continue learning more as I go along.
