Profile
I’m a software engineer most interested in systemic problem solving and impact focused organizations. In my work as a teacher, my brief exposures to coding through working with student information databases and cobbling together google spreadsheets as a system were some of the most satisfying projects of mine. In looking to switch careers, I am most drawn to creative problem solving, finding ways to make processes and experiences more efficient.
