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 working, I’m probably playing the piano or reading. I also lift weights and run regularly. I drink more coffee than I should, and eat more lots of chocolate and cheese than I should (nah! there’s no such thing as too much chocolate or cheese… 🤷🏻‍♀️)
