What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accessibility and innovation, where I can grow my skills and contribute to meaningful projects.

As a communications student turned fullstack developer, I am passionate about creating online experiences that are accessible to all users, regardless of their device or screen orientation. My journey into technology began with a strong foundation in communications, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on user experience and design.

Currently, I work as a Software Developer Engineer in Testing at Revature, where I have honed my skills in various testing frameworks and agile methodologies. My projects include developing social media API backends and creating comprehensive test suites for web applications. I am committed to continuous learning and improvement, as evidenced by my ongoing education in frontend development and test automation.

In addition to my technical skills, I have experience in customer service and retail, which has strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively in team environments. I am eager to leverage my diverse background and technical expertise to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize accessibility and user experience.
