About me

I am a software engineer with 8 years of experience as a chemical engineer. My work as a technical service engineer brought me to many organizations across the United States and Canada where I was able to hone my abilities to negotiate, collaborate, and find technical solutions. This job demanded that I communicate directly with all levels of the organization to find solutions that satisfied both business and technical needs and balanced a wide range of competing priorities. I have often been praised for my ability to keep the larger picture in mind while still having excellent attention to detail.

I am excited to bring the skills that I have developed in my time as a chemical engineer into the software space. Through my time at Turing School of Software and Design, these skills have shown to translate quite well into software development, as I have excelled at problem identification, problem solving, performance optimization, as well as collaboration and communication.

Weather Together is a weather guessing game where you are given randomly generated weather stats, and you have to pick a location on the map that you think will have weather closest to the generated stats.

There are a few ways to play.

You can play a daily round based on yesterday's weather where you are only judged against yourself, you can play a competitive round where you attempt to guess a 3 day forecast where you are placed on a leaderboard of all users, and lastly, you can make private games with your friends with variable gameplay parameters.
