In the wicked cool city of Boston

Fun fact: I’m a history nerd (if you couldn't tell by the quote over there). I truly believe that everyday presents an opportunity to learn something new; whether it be a new skill, helpful piece of knowledge, or just a random fun fact. I’m now able to couple my love of learning with my newfound love of coding, allowing me to always achieve that incredible sense of fulfillment.

I graduated from Boston College in 2017 and have worked within sales & project management. My previous experiences have provided me the ability to further develop my collaboration, organization, decision-making, and time management skills. Discovering software development has not only allowed me to utilize my acquired skill set, but also challenge me on a daily basis with complex problems.

There truly isn’t a ceiling in development - you’re able to constantly improve upon yourself and add another tool to your kit. It’s this reason why I couldn’t be more excited to join an industry and career that allows me to achieve higher.

Projects

Here's a couple projects I've worked on along the way:

Flix: Capstone Project

Personally built a social web app that allows users to review and share their favorite movies & tv shows with friends. Combining a movie/tv database with the idea of social media, users are able to write reviews, have a look into a live feed of reviews from other users, and look at top trending news from around the cinema world. Built with Rails, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, pulling in data from IMDb API. You can view my presentation and walkthrough of the app here: Flix Presentation
