My background is unconventional, but diverse, and shows off my versatility! My experience working in the food industry taught me a lot about workplace communication and working on a team, staying cool under pressure, and what it takes a run a business. As a developer, this allows me to be targeted and deliberate with my efforts, problem solve, and quality control.
