Thank you for visiting my Github!

My current tech stack: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Zendesk

I am currently employed as Forward Deployed Software Engineer at a rapidly growing and successful tech start-up.

My current role involves software development at a rapid speed - sometimes I deliver custom feature requests within 24-48 hours, with the daily challenge of balancing speed, proficiency, clean code, and feasibility given the resources I have on any given day.

I am a strong communicator. I work daily with the support team, customer success managers, product team, core engineers and customers (who are typically engineering leaders in their own world) in order to understand and translate specific needs and pain points into a software driven solution.

Even though I work in an engineering world, my first love is for people. People are complicated, deep, complex, and a joy to work with. My speciality lies within the intersection of people and engineered solutions.

I also:

Troubleshoot bugs and features alongside core engineering teams
Being a customer facing software engineer, my team is the engineering team that is closest to the voice of the customer
Touch on bits and pieces of the deployment pipeline like Prefect.io, Bugsnag, Docker, AWS, and more
Must learn quickly what I don't know and translate that knowledge into words that a customer can easily understand
Work well under pressure. I must always provide an answer and software driven solution for the customer and provide that in a calm, collected, and cheerful persona
Work in service level agreements ranging from 24 hours out to one week. I work in a fast and rapid paced environment, and I do it cheerfully with my team.

That's about what I do in a nutshell!

I'm happily employed.

It looks like I code a lot, right?

Actually, no. I've obscured my coding days chart - I hope you understand. I want to challenge you: does my frequency of code or total output of code align with your company's overall business goals?

If that confuses you, let's talk about it. I'd love to change your mind.

JavaScript - Assign variables. Return results to console. Mathematical operators with variables and numbers combined. Conditionals returning different results. Create and define functions. Utilize “.toUpperCase” method to return desired results. Use functions and parameters within functions to call function multiple times with different arguments.

assignment-5

JavaScript - I make use of basic mathematical operators to manipulate data. I compare numbers and return results. I create if and else statements to return results based on conditions. I take strings and return vowels and consonants in the strings depending on what the user decides. I create a small guessing game based on a function that generates a random number. I take an object filled with a user’s books and assort based on author, title, or library ID.

assignment-6

I create a BattleShip game that takes input from the user utilizing the prompt and alert message. The game is played on a 4x4 board. I manipulate a nested array to stand in as a game-board. I create various functions to check to see if the user has hit target or missed and I give the user options to quit the game should the user decide they have had enough before the game has ended.

assignment-7

JS and the DOM. I utilize event listeners that are activated when a user clicks. I create a mathematical calculator that calculates the surface area and volume of a sphere based on the input of a radius number that the user gives. I create a drop down menu with options that the user can select and delete. Finally, I create three buttons that hide and unhide each of the elements described above.
