About me

After a decade of working in the biotech industry, I've made the decision to pursue my passion for technology by becoming a backend software engineer.

Since I was young I have always had an interest in technology, from designing and building a website in raw HTML in high school on how to build a potato launcher with nothing but an HTML for Dummies book to creating a data tracking tool that trended assay/equipment metrics, decreasing the number of run failures in an Oncology genetics laboratory.

My experience in the biotech industry has equipped me with a unique set of skills that I believe will help me excel in the software engineering world. As a biotech professional, I've honed my abilities in problem-solving, data analysis, training/mentoring, and project management. I've also developed a strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work, which I believe are assets for my role as a software engineer.
