I am a recent graduate from the Engineering Immersion Career Path bootcamp at Thinkful. I bring a unique perspective to whatever project I encounter due to my well-rounded background and my training as a Fullstack Developer.
Ever since I was a child and disassembled my family's desktop and reassembled it, I have had a fascination with technology, creative solutions, and just how far my creativity and intellect can take me, my projects and my hobbies. That is one of my driving forces is being able to run into new and interesting challenges to overcome and that is why I stand out from other coders. Because I LIKE working on code and because my work ethic shines through when a challenge would stump others.
As a previous manager and teacher I can communicate with others on my team exceptionally well. My degree in psychology gives me the specialized training and know-how to communicate in different styles as needed in order to help facilitate a deeper comprehension.
My experience working as a fiber optics technician gives me a unique perspective on problem solving and how each portion of a job can be a unique, fun, and engaging puzzle.
I'm really excited to join a programming company and team, I always enjoy cooperation and working alongside other people to accomplish a goal gives me a sense of purpose and comradery. It gives me a chance to train under experienced professionals, to stretch my programming legs, and it gives me a chance to assist as an extra pair of hands or eyes for my team.
When I'm not busy working on my hobbies or a job I tend to spend my free time rock climbing, reading books, polishing my own book that I've recently had the chance to actually sit down and write, and running a pair of Dungeons and Dragons games. I do love my creative pursuits, they are my passion in life, whether that be creating and describing an epic scale journey through a haunted maze with crazy creatures and sights, or coming up with out of the box thinking for problem solving.

This application is a 'first in first out' adoption agency application with dummy data. It allows the user to see the landing page, begin the adoption process, choose a pet to adopt and then take home! As a user adopts from the agency their user is removed from the list of available adopters until eventually none are left. This is a work in progress. The WIP portion is making it so when pets/users are 'run out of' the user is notified and brought to the landing page and the list of adopters and adoptees are refreshed
The Petful App uses HTML, JavaScript, CSS, React, Node, Express, PostgreSQL, and JSON.
Maori in Motion is an application which uses the spaced repetition method in order to teach users a new language in a more efficient way. It utilizes an algorithm wherein the user is given words and asked to give the correct answer, the more often a word is guessed correctly the more it spaces out the repeating of that word, giving the user more chances to guess words that they have failed more often. The more the user repeats a word incorrectly the more exposure they have to that word and the correct response, thereby increasing their exposure to the correct answer and increasing comprehension time.
The Maori in Motion App uses HTML, JavaScript, CSS, React, Nodemon, Express, Chai, Mocha, Cypress, Helmet, Supertest, Jest, XSS, bcrypt, knex, PostgreSQL, and JSON..
Kitchen Helper 2020 is the second version of Kitchen Helper, it was collaborated on with three other developers, names found in the README file. During this project I was the QA Lead and was in charge of making sure that we had 100% coverage down every API ENDPOINT, and every client component with 100% passing tests. I was also in charge of making sure that user stories were fulfilled during construction of the application and that nothing was left out from the original design. This is my third full-stack project. It is meant to be an all-around kitchen assistant and help you achieve efficiency in the kitchen.
