I take a proactive and detailed approach to engineering software. I am a boot-camp graduate, full-stack web developer with a degree in Finance/business administration and experience managing customer service in the restaurant market. While attending Central State University to obtain my B.S., Business Administration degree, I played collegiate D2 basketball and led the team to a championship. I’m an ATL-based software engineer currently teaching at Ada Developers Academy. My professional interests are back-end development and data visualization. I have previously worked at Popmenu and several startups. When not working, I enjoy watching sports and podcasting.
