What I'm looking for
I am a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Software Engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack web development, gained through an intensive coding bootcamp. My previous experience as a dental hygienist for 8 years has equipped me with a unique blend of precision, problem-solving, and client-focused communication. I excel at translating complex problems into practical solutions, and I am passionate about building user-friendly, efficient applications.
Throughout my career, I have developed several projects, including PokeCompare, a responsive React application that allows users to compare Pokémon stats in real-time, and Around The US, a web application for sharing images. My experience as an Eligibility Worker has honed my ability to manage high volumes of cases with accuracy and attention to detail, skills that are directly applicable to software development. I am committed to creating accessible, inclusive software experiences that prioritize user needs.
