About me
I am an avid sports lover and outdoor adventurer, who wants to make a positive impact on the world and the lives of others.
Throughout my career and adult life, I have always contributed to and led diverse teams. I am always thinking of ways that technology could improve my life both personally and professionally. As a restaurant manager, I spearheaded the implementation of a new POS (point of sale) system that allowed my team to make decisions driven by data. As a sales representative, I created short educational videos for new reps to aid their learning process and path to success. Making a difference and beneficial effect on others gave me a great sense of purpose.
After having my son, I decided I wanted to pursue something different that would continue to challenge me and offer a lot of growth potential, while still having that positive impact. In my journey finding a new career path, I decided to become a software engineer, as it incorporates my love for puzzles and problem solving with learning new technologies and finding the best ways to utilize them. Now as a backend engineer, I will be able to take my team first attitude along with my technical and problem solving skills to make a positive impact wherever I go. I really enjoy how my technical skills make anything feel possible, and the opportunities to make a meaningful contribution to other peoples' lives feels so tangible.
I am so excited for my next opportunity to join a new team as a software developer, where I can continue learning, growing, and collaborating with others to solve new problems, challenges, and make a positive impact.

Tools Used
StreetEatz is an application that brings food truck vendors and users together in one place. It is designed for the vendors to share their location with users, along with their wait times and menu items. Users can search for a given food truck by name, food type, or category. The backend API is built using Python and Django Rest Framework. The front end was built using React and incorporated websockets to give realtime notifications when a vendor "goes live" and when they broadcast their location.
