About Me

I was as an analyst at New York City's Sanitation department but wanted to continue to leverage my quantitative background in economics and math. After graduating from Fullstack Academy, I became a React Engineer – where I was able to express myself in my work and explore a creative aspect that is unique to computer programming. For my next role, I am looking for a senior team with growth opportunities where I can pair program and continue learning.
