Each day I strive to be a professional software developer who writes readable, composable, and functional programs. I am highly self-motivated and driven, having taught myself programming in order to transition into a career that plays to all of my strengths. I embrace the fact that change in this field is constant, which forces me to be adaptable and well versed in the fundamentals. I enjoy teaching and giving back to my community, as I do at The Iron Yard teaching HTML & CSS to Bay area youth. And lastly, I enjoy the fact that there is always something new to learn in this industry, making every day a new adventure!
