About me
Backend Developer
With over a decade in emergency medical services, four years at a meditation retreat center and now a year in software engineering, my career trajectory has been anything but ordinary. As an EMT, I responded to critical situations and learned how to collaborate amongst chaos and make difficult decisions quickly and calmly. While serving as a Director at Drala Mountain Center I gained valuable insights about human mind and how to cultivate and nuture our inherent wisdom.
In the past year I've been diving into software engineering through Turing School of Software and Design, finding a new landscape where I can apply my problem-solving skills and intuition. I have created 10+ projects in Ruby on Rails, finding joy in every opportunity to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. Now, I'm eager to bring my diverse skill set to a company committed to creating positive change in the world.
