Feeling too comfortable makes me antsy. So I’ll jump into pair programming and admit what I don’t know. I’ll use a new technology for a project and learn along the way. I’ll reach out to people whose work I admire.
Whether it’s doing a 180 career switch from grant writing to software development or buying a one-way ticket to Nicaragua, taking smart risks is what I do. I am an empathetic software developer with a cultivated set of soft skills. I am obsessed with test driven development. I have a knack for creating positive and goal-oriented partnerships.
Today, I am using my background in non-profits and government agencies to create data-driven solutions to civic tech problems. I’d love to connect if you are into data science, technical blogging, civic tech or enjoy Chicago style hot dogs.
