What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my full-stack development skills, particularly in Elixir, in a collaborative environment that values innovation and continuous learning.

I am a dedicated and passionate software engineer with a strong background in full-stack development and a particular enthusiasm for the Elixir programming language. My journey in tech began with an immersive program at Grace Hopper Fullstack Academy, where I honed my skills in various programming languages and frameworks.

Professionally, I've had the privilege of working at Launch Scout, where I've grown from an Apprentice Engineer to a Software Engineer III. This role has allowed me to work on diverse projects, from scheduling applications to platforms connecting authors with readers. I take pride in my ability to manage projects, collaborate remotely, and translate complex codebases across different languages.

Beyond coding, I am an active contributor to the tech community. I've spoken at conferences like Elixir Conf and CodeBeam, discussing topics such as machine learning and the impact of programming languages on development experiences. These opportunities have not only deepened my technical expertise but also strengthened my communication and leadership skills.
