About me

Front End Software Developer in a constant pursuit of balance and growth. I love the new, and software development offers a daily dose. From the patient focus of massage therapy, the hectic flow of restaurants, and the hard-earned reward of horticulture, my previous careers have taught me to find the patterns, weigh the cost/benefit, and lean in to the challenges. I look forward to leveraging my previous experience of working in teams, continual development and improvement, and changing paradigms to my new career in software development.
