About Me
I am a self-taught full stack web developer with a degree in Economics and experience managing customer service and operations teams in hi-tech. After a decade in customer-facing roles I pivoted careers and immersed myself full-time into software engineering. I love to solve problems and learn new technologies. I am detail-oriented, possess strong communications skills, and have a sharp business acumen.
