Who am I?

I began my career with a strong foundation in the arts, earning a degree that honed my creative thinking, communication and management skills. However, my passion for technology, which began at age 12 when I started coding for fun, eventually led me to transition into software development in 2018. This shift allowed me to merge my artistic vision with technical expertise, enabling me to create pixel perfect and user-focused digital solutions.

Since changing careers, I've become a full-time software engineer with a proven track record in web development, working on impactful projects and contributing to the tech community. My journey from the arts to technology, underpinned by years of coding experience, has equipped me with a unique perspective that drives my innovative approach to software design and development.

Volunteering for diversity in Tech

I have extensive experience in volunteering. I have volunteered at Women Who Code, CodeWomen and MigraCode, with the purpose of helping the tech world get closer to a more diverse working environment.

I especially enjoy volunteering in organizations that provide opportunities for learning, finding mentorship, networking and growing both professionally and personally by connecting people through events, workshops and meetups.

From 0 to Dev and beyond

Learning development on my own was not easy but I found a lot of people on the way who helped me out without asking anything in return... and that changed my life.

With a desire to keep the ball rolling, I have been volunteering and helping out beginner coders in their journey through 1o1 mentorship, code reviews, interview prep and planning the next steps in their career.

Open Source

I am currently part of the official contributor team of Responsively App, an desktop application with more than 170,000 downloads and 22,000 stars in Github.

My focus is on implementing modern web technologies, enhancing features, solving bugs, adding tests and reviewing other coders pull requests.

I am also passionate about mentoring new contributors, guiding them through their first pull requests, and helping them understand best practices in frontend development.

By contributing to open-source projects, I aim to not only improve my skills but also give back to the community by helping build tools and libraries that benefit developers worldwide.
