TL;DR
Hi! 👋🏻 I’m a software developer focused on backend development, with prior experience as a Technical Business Analyst.
My background helps me bridge the gap between technical details and business needs: connecting the dots, solving problems, and delivering solutions that truly support business goals.
I value clear communication, enjoy tackling challenges, and work hard to ensure that the software I build fits seamlessly 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. Combined with my problem-solving mindset and drive for efficiency and simplicity, these skills put me in a strong 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 also 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 clean, 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 at 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.
