I'm a Designer

About

I am a software engineer with a background in biology and art. In addition to coding, I spend my time painting, reading, hiking, and fighting the urge to expand my trio of cats. I love building and designing websites, using my artistic background to add creativity when needed. I am proficient in Javascript, Python, Typescript, SQL, React, and AWS cloud services. I enjoy collaborating on large teams and value the community aspect of shared code bases.
