TL;DR
Hi! 👋🏻 I’m a software developer with a knack for backend development and a background as a Business Analyst.
With experience spanning technical and business worlds, I’m all about bridging gaps, solving problems, and driving solutions that align with business goals.
I thrive on clear communication, tackling challenges head-on, and making sure the software I build fits perfectly into the bigger picture.
The Long Version
My career in tech started in technical customer support and years later I moved into a Business Analyst position, where I wore many hats, including but not limited to product and project management. Fun times!
Next I started working as a full-stack software developer, where I have been for almost a decade. As a software developer, my true expertise lies in backend work.
Along the way, I’ve developed a solid mix of business insight, organizational skills, and clear communication. These, allied with my problem-solving skills and enthusiasm for efficiency and simplicity put me in a strategic position to help projects move in the right direction.
In other words, I know how to build things and get people focused on the right problems.
I’m usually the person who asks the questions everyone is afraid to ask. 🙄
Python is my programming language of choice and I enjoy taking on challenges that need creative solutions to make a real impact. My goal is to create software that not only meets technical needs but is also simple, and easy to read and maintain.
I’m based in Halifax, Nova Scotia 🍁, Canada 🇨🇦, where I live with my husband and our German Shepherd, Logan.
When I’m not writing code, you’ll find me lifting weights, logging a few kilometres on the road, or playing the piano - at home and occasionally serving in my church.
I also read a lot and my bookshelf swings from fantasy to mysteries, technical books, productivity reads and, most often, theology. Coffee fuels the coding and chocolate and cheese are small joys I never pass up.
