What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles building impactful web/mobile products where I can apply psychology-informed design, lead engineering efforts, and mentor trainees in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a psychologist-turned-technologist with substantial experience building web and mobile applications, training over 2,000 students, and delivering commercial software solutions. I have led software teams, developed e-commerce and real-estate apps, created data-security tools in Python, and worked as a freelancer and at Turing.

My background spans psychology research, investigative journalism internships, event leadership, and extensive technical certifications (web development, data science, machine learning, cybersecurity, Python, JavaScript). I bring a practical, service-oriented approach to product development, training, and technical problem-solving.
