About Me
A few things about me...
BIO
After many years in academia, teaching high school and college
students, I desired new challenges to hone other skills and
contribute to society in new ways. I decided to dedicate myself to
learning to code at Denver's
Turing School of Software and Design. This opportunity gave me the skills to enter today's software
development workforce with a focus on Test Driven Development, Agile
work practices, and best workflow practices.
Besides my passion for technology, I am a craft beer and spirits
enthusiast, foodie, and musician.
