A little about me...
Hi! I'm an NYC based Web Developer specializing in JavaScript, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails.
Growing up I was an Army Brat and lived many different places. Prior to my coding career, I was a dancer in NYC! I still enjoy dancing for fun, but now I put my creative energy into developing web applications. I'm especially happy when I get to add fun details with CSS and HTML. I also enjoyed coding with clean, streamlined approaches such as React.js and Flux, but also super enjoy trying to simplify complex queries with SQL.
Like many New Yorkers, I'm a bit of a coffee addict and most days I can be found scurrying around the city, getting sucking into Quora questions, or even occasionally playing a game of Dota2.
