A LITTLE ABOUT ME
As a left-brain/right-brain hybrid (think mathlete/theatre kid), I never thought I'd find a field that challenged me technically and creatively. I grew up dreading the day when I'd need to give up one of my passions. Luckily, I discovered programming, and fell in love with its perfect balance of logic and creativity.
I work as a consulting full-stack engineer, building out APIs in Ruby, Python, and Javascript, and creating richly interactive front-ends (mostly in React). I am also a passionate technical educator and curriculum developer: in a past life, I taught Full-Stack Web Development at App Academy NYC, and I recently helped develop several courses on React and Redux for Codecademy.
Beyond engineering, I work as a theatre director, primarily developing new plays. For fun, I create handmade ceramics and blown glass, read contemporary fiction authored by women, and take long walks around Brooklyn.
I'm always looking to expand my network and contribute to exciting projects built by awesome people. If you think I'd be a fit for your team, I'd love to meet you!
