About Me

Hi there, I'm a young and eager programmer who's passionate about applying the skills I've been developing in college to the IT industry. I'm graduating this year and can't wait to grow into a strong contributor. I'm goal-oriented, disciplined, and dedicated, and I respond well to feedback. I'm also thoughtful, personable, and willing to learn, and I always try to be genuine and professional when communicating. I have creative ways of solving problems, and I'm flexible and resourceful.
Outside of work I am passionate about sustainability, and one of the ways I am pursuing it is through reasearching blacksmithing. The idea of making my own tools and reducing waste excites me, and I bring that same level of enthusiasm to my work. I believe in the importance of appreciating both workers and customers. I am motivated by the WHY of a company and the problem it solves.
Overall, I'm excited to apply my skills and knowledge to any tech-focused team and make valuable contributions to the field.
