I'm a Full stack software engineer based in Boston, with a focus in
JavaScript and the NERD stack (Node.js, Express, React/Redux, and
Databases (PostgreSQL)). Also, a theater director turned software engineer.
I thoroughly enjoy trying out new baking recipes, meditating with my cat
(both a cat and dog person; just don't have a dog yet), and biking
around the city. If you're in the area, please feel free to reach out to
grab a cup of tea sometime!
In a previous position, I managed the relationship with a third party
application software company that was understaffed so I offered to write
out our program applications in HTML and send it to them if it got our applications
published faster. When I successfully wrote out my first bit of code, I
found that I really enjoyed solving problems and learning programming.
This started my journey of learning code which lead me to online
resources, coding prep bootcamp, and then to FullStack Academy. I’ve now
learned the NERD stack and have created code I’m excited and proud of.

PROJECTS
Recipeasy
Receipt scanning recipe finder
Recipeasy is an app that allows users to conveniently take photos of
grocery receipts which will add ingredients to a virtual pantry. They
can then receive a list of recipes based on the selected ingredients in
their respective pantry. Our Capstone is a mobile app that we created
utilizing React Native on the front-end, FireStore for hosting our data
and FireFunctions to create a headless server. From this project we
learned how to utilize various external API's, how to create and deploy
functions on FireFunctions, how to store data in FireStore and how to
work in an agile team. Something interesting we learned was how to parse
text from images and overcoming one of our main blockers which was
parsing imperfect receipts.

Avalon Unboarded
React Native Avalon board game with an Express, Node, Postgres backend.
The goal was to design a game where multiple people could play Avalon if
they were all together but missing the physical board. My app allows for
multiple rooms, games from 5-10 players, and will persist should you
leave the app or the server go down.
