About me
A dedicated back-end engineer with a unique journey that began in the classroom. My career started as a teacher, where I discovered my passion for problem-solving and helping others understand complex concepts. This experience honed my communication skills, patience, and ability to break down intricate problems into manageable pieces.
Transitioning into the tech field was a natural progression for me. I was drawn to the dynamic nature of technology and the opportunity to continually learn and innovate. My background in education has provided me with a solid foundation in logical thinking and a methodical approach to problem-solving, which are essential skills in back-end development. I thrive on creating efficient, scalable, and robust systems that form the backbone of user-centric applications.
Looking ahead, I aspire to deepen my technical expertise and take on more complex projects. I aim to leverage my unique background and skills to lead teams, mentor aspiring engineers, and drive impactful technological advancements. My journey from teaching to tech is a testament to my adaptability, continuous learning, and passion for making a difference.

Hop Hop!
Hop Hop!
Tools Used
Hop Hop API is a Rails API project developed to provide back-end functionality for creating trips itineraries. Whenever visiting a different country, it can be hard to determine what you are going to do, and Hop Hop API will facilitate that. This API allows the front-end to access information about users trips, accommodations, and activities that they choose. All endpoints require a user_id.
We have 4 collaborators in this project: Selena H, Hoa Dam, Yain Porter and Igor Magalhaes.
We have used technologies that was new to us such as JS and consuming google maps API. For our stretch we used Tailwind to style our website.

Tools Used
This is one of my first projects ever! I used Ruby, RSpec, TDD, Git and Github.
This app helps managing the services that the "DMV" offer and process some data.
It was a good practice of Ruby and I enjoyed a lot doing it!
