About me

I am a software developer looking for a role that allows me to grow professionally, develop genuine connections with colleagues, and challenges me to continue learning. My professional background has been heavily focused in Accounting/Finance which required high levels of analytical skills as well as attention to detail. While working in those roles, I developed a strong understanding of complex Excel formulas which I used to problem solve and streamline tasks. I was able to draw a connection between what I enjoyed most in my accounting career with the work that is required of a developer. I have enjoyed what I’ve already learned, am excited to expand that knowledge, and ready to begin this new chapter.

ListenUp is an application where users are given a random sound and have to guess what it is. The app offers different categories of sounds such as animals, musical instruments, machines, & miscellaneous. A user then has the option to select a difficulty which determines how many times a sound can be replayed before a guess must be submit. After finishing the game, a score is computed based on the number of correct answers, which is then added to the all-time leaderboard.

The gif display utilizes slider.js and creates a slideshow effect for the returned results.
