I want to make things
that make a difference.

About

Mission-driven full stack developer with a passion for robust software development, collaboration, and teaching.

A teacher to the core and a passionate software developer with a good understanding of current and emerging Microsoft technologies. Solid understanding of Object Oriented Programming methodology. Quick to learn and master new technologies. Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision making skills.

I’ve always sought out opportunities and challenges that are meaningful to me. Although my professional path has taken many twists and turns — from music, to outstanding Confidential Secretary at ECWA Manchok DCC, to outstanding CDS President, to respected teacher/lecturer — I've never stopped engaging my passion to help others and solve problems.

As a web developer, I enjoy using my obsessive attention to detail, my unequivocal love for making things, and my mission-driven work ethic to literally change the world. That's why I’m excited to make a big impact at a high growth company.
