About me

As a Customer Service Tech Professional turned Software Developer, I have gained great knowledge in identifying immediate issues and delivering effective and creative solutions for those issues. Working at large tech companies such as Gusto and Coinbase has provided me with insight on the culture and work ethic required to achieve a common goal.

Transferring into my career as a software developer, I have combined the knowledge I have received in my previous experiences so that I am personable and professional under pressure, while also being reliable and driven. This results in achieving the common goal in the most effective way.

I'm born and raised in Colorado, and I do my best not to take this beautiful state for granted! Whether it's backpacking in The Rocky Mountain National Forest or enjoying the night life of Denver, I have gained an appreciation for all it has to offer!

Pantry Wizard is designed to meet the needs of neurodivergent individuals, picky eaters, and anyone facing time or resource constraints, so they can focus on what really matters in their lives. Join us in making a positive impact on our communities, one meal at a time.

Pantry Wizard utilizes a front-end application to retrieve data from the Spoonacular API and display that information to the user. Pantry Wizard also utilizes a back-end application to create, read, update, or destroy any Users, Day_Plans, or Recipes as requests coming from the front-end.

Pantry Wizard also makes use of the Google Places API to locate supermarkets in a radius of a given location. Locations are provided in the search bar, and the results are displayed on a map widget below the search bar.
