A little about me
I started working in the technology world in 2014 at a firm in Washington D.C. We were a small but mighty team with startup-delivery energy and a passion for poke bowls. I was fortunate to get my footing in the industry with this team. The diverse client list and adventurous proposals put forth by the sales team helped me to start thinking outside the box for my technical solutions and to have the confidence to try new things.
Since then, I’ve worked In roles ranging from SaaS product engineer to AWS Devops support. I believe that there is no such thing as time wasted learning and that every role I’ve had in the past has layered onto my experience to give me a well-rounded set of skills in the online world.
On a tangental note, I believe that is it important to find personal meaning in your work. It helps to prevent burnout and inspire creative problem-solving. While my daily profession is in the tech world, a big part of my personal life is lived in slower daily activities such as art, cooking and gardening. I've worked to marry the two parts of my life together and have found a balance that supports them both. Through careful consideration I've found many ways that math, science and technology help to further my slower living pursuits. Those are what I hope to share here.
What you'll find here
In my spare time (when im not wandering determinedly through a hobby shop for supplies) I like to try to share my experiences here. It serves me as a fun journal experience I can look back on, and also as a way to try to support the free exchange of knowledge. Nothing accelerates progress like information sharing! Not sure where to start? On my blog page, you will find a rambling collection of thoughts, opinions and how-tos ranging from bite-sized coding tutorials to fun sewing tricks.
