I began my software engineering journey in the summer of 2020. This launch involved dabbling in resources on the internet, such as freecodecamp.org, Codecademy.com, and Udemy.com. At the time, I served as a career firefighter/AEMT, which I’ve been doing for the past twelve years in South Atlanta and Athens, GA. Holding the ranks of Sergeant and Corporal in the fire service, I have demonstrated leadership abilities, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and a strong work ethic. I’m known for my positive attitude and for being easy to work with, and I love being around people.
I planned to supplement our family’s income with web development while I was away from the station. The more I learned, the more I fell in love with it. I knew that if I wanted to do this, I needed the structure of formal schooling. I applied, was accepted, and enrolled in the Full Stack Software Engineering program in July 2021 at Flatiron School.
I transitioned into software engineering after graduating from the Flatiron program in September 2022. I also have a degree in Business from the University of Georgia, which allows me to see the strategic vision of a project while maintaining focus on the code.
With a strong foundation in coding, I am excited to continue learning and growing in this field and committed to making a positive impact. Going outside my comfort zone and pushing limits is the key to success.
My need to think creatively drives my ambition to take on new challenges. I love learning new things and care about staying versed with current technology and creating new opportunities.
I'm always interested in new opportunities, hearing about what you have going on, or just connecting towards a common goal.
