I'm a mission-driven program leader and strategist pivoting into software engineering โ driven by a passion for equity, innovation, and the power of tech to solve real people's real problems.
After 9+ years leading high-impact work in cybersecurity, learning & development, and business operations, I recently designed and built my first mobile app โ from scratch. With no formal computer science background, I stood up the entire development environment and created a fully functional app that loads a live website within the mobile interface.
โ Built using:
- React Native
- Expo
- Metro Bundler
- VS Code
- WebView (React Native)
I want to bring my voice and lived experience into the tech space โ a place where representation matters and innovation thrives on diverse perspectives. With my foundation in cross-functional collaboration, public sector consulting, and systems thinking, Iโm ready to level up as a software engineer.
- Tech as a tool for inclusion and access
- Creating products with empathy and intention
- Lifelong learning and mentoring others on non-traditional paths
- JavaScript fundamentals
- Building apps with React Native
- Git, GitHub, and version control best practices
- System design & Agile workflows
Always happy to connect with others who are curious, collaborative, and mission-aligned.
