Thank you for your interest in me! I'm a full-stack Web Developer who loves new challenges, puzzles, and problems.
I began coding in early 2018 and immediately loved it! After teaching high school math for two years (occasionally from a unicycle), I decided that I wanted to be a full-time programmer. I excelled in the Thinkful coding bootcamp en route to becoming a Senior SDET Associate for Infosys, and currently, a Front-End Developer with 3C Institute.
In my free time, I enjoy making side projects and instructing at local tech meetups. Then, to convince myself that I'm not actually just a coding robot, I also find time to run/bike (I did Cross Country/Track in college), read, and rock climb at the local indoor gym.

Seat Talk
Description:
Built for those at-your-desk conversations that are missing when everyone works from home, Seat Talk is a simple and easy-to-use real-time communication app. Seat Talk is like Zoom, but simpler, free, without CAPTCHA's, unlimited, and requires no setup. Just share the link or custom room code for others to join. Users can share audio, video, and screens with others in the room for those quick spontaneous collaborative conversations.

Equation Relay
Description:
Practicing math equations can be fun and collaborative, thanks to Equation Relay! In this game, students are divided into teams, and each team member is given a different equation to solve. Team members must add all of their individual answers together in order for the group to submit the correct cumulative answer and earn points. The teams' points are scoreboarded, instilling motivation in the students. When creating games, any questions with an integer answer are acceptable, and the app even double-checks these answers.
