About me

Before going to school for Software development, I have always been interested in learning new technologies, I also have a passion for customer service and that passion took me to roles to work as Department and Sales Manager, when Covid happened I saw it as an opportunity to switch careers and pursue my dream of becoming a Software Engineer, and I am so glad I made that decision.
