About me

I am a kind, hard-working person with a strong record of successful teamwork in the military, education, and private industry. Collaborating, mentoring, and learning from others feeds my soul and fuels my success. I value honesty, deep connections and achievement.

A voracious learner, I continually reach for new skills and experiences that will help me add value to my organization and broader community. If I'm without the skills to complete a project, I eagerly deep-dive into research and practice until I have the skillset needed to succeed.

Complex and technical challenges excite me. I am fueled by the sense of achievement from persevering and overcoming struggles. Excellence, integrity, and service are my personal core values. I work with purpose to improve products, processes, and the lives of people around me.

Oh, and I'm pretty good at coding too :)

The Menuify app allows restaurant owners to easily create mobile-friendly restaurant menus so diners can enjoy the best possible experience. This group project was completed in 2 1/2 weeks at the Turing School of Software and Design. Front- and Back-end teams collaborated on the design, development, and deployment processes throughout the course of the project.

Restaurant owners can easily add or delete menus and individual menu items. Images can be added by url, or by searching a collection of images sourced from the Photo Unsplash API.

Diners can readily find their desired menu with full-color images, descriptions, and prices. By placing QR codes on the tables, customers need only use their mobile device to access the user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing menu.

This application was a 2-part, group project. We created a recipe tracking and meal planning application that allows users to browse, search, and filter recipes and save selected recipes to their profile. Recipe, ingredient, and user data are fetched from an API.
