About

Licensed skydiver and software engineer. I was previously an A/V Technician for Live Event Production and currently looking for employment as a Full Stack Software Engineer or Frontend Software Engineer, preferably within climate tech. Hardworking, eager to learn, and skilled in communicating with co-workers and clients, as demonstrated from my previous career. I'm particularly proud of my project Flying Fox. Check it out here: https://flying-fox-capstone.onrender.com/ My 6 years as an A/V Technician at Alaska Universal Productions allowed me to gain many useful skills such as troubleshooting complex systems under pressure, reading and understanding technical specifications, and hosting live events with zero margin for error. These skills translate directly to debugging and shipping reliable software. While there, I set up, operated, and dismantled lighting, audio, stage, and video equipment for live events and installations. I was also an arena rigger for events that needed things to be suspended above the floor safely and securely. I'm proud of the installations that I was able to do there, both in home and in businesses, as well as the skills I learned in lighting and sound design, arena rigging, interpersonal interactions, and customer service. I was frequently working as part of a team ranging from 2 to 10+ people, collaborating to get events assembled and ready in short and intense time frames. I began my coding journey back in middle school and high school with small, static HTML pages. Since then, I have expanded my coding expertise with the help of App Academy's online Full Stack Software Engineering coding boot camp. While studying with App Academy, I learned to code with JavaScript, Python, React, Redux, SQL, Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, HTML, CSS, and Docker. I used Git and Github for version control, engaged in paired programming, and completed group projects. While learning at App Academy, I studied Test Driven Development (TDD), Object Oriented Programming (OOP), Data Structures & Algorithms (DS&A), and Agile and Scrum Methodologies, which have helped me become a well-rounded programmer. In my free time, I enjoy skydiving, hiking, snowboarding, rock climbing and playing board and video games. The physical, mental, and sometimes challenging nature of these activities keeps me engaged and constantly learning new techniques and skills, similar to how coding and my previous work experience has been.
