About me
I’m someone who's always loved helping others, and the best way that I’ve found to do that is by problem-solving.
I turned this passion into a skill during my time in the Navy leading deployable security teams around the world, and then continued to build on that by working in a diverse sales field. After almost 11 years between the two worlds I decided to make a change and explore other opportunities.
I was introduced to software development by a close friend and mentor who knew the drive and determination I have to tackle challenges, and the unique approaches that I take to solving problems on behalf of others.
My hopes are that I can find myself contributing to a team that shares the same mindset of putting good out into the world through products that solve real world problems, for real people.
