Who Am I

I'm a Software Engineer at an emerging Healthcare Startup called Hilo Health, centered around Weight Loss. My responsibilities range from maintaining and strengthening our backend infrastructure using AWS and working with HIPAA compliant data storage, as well as creating an engaging frontend user experience.

I originally come from a healthcare background with a Bachelors degree from CUNY Hunter College, pursuing a career in sports Physical Therapy. My transition into tech was driven by lack of opportunity and drive in my previous field, and making this switch allowed me to grow and challenge myself in many ways. I started learning Python to grasp core concepts and data structures while working on minor projects. Eventually I transitioned into Javascript, HTML, and CSS to expand my knowledge on web development. Being fascinated by the intricacy and power of programming and building out projects, I decided to push myself more and enroll into an immersive fullstack web development bootcamp with Fullstack Academy. I am a problem solver through and through, and I strive to handle critical technical situations calmly providing structure for investigation and taking practical steps to identify & resolve the issue. My learning is accelerating rapidly and allowing me to express my general interest in working about new technologies and coming up with solutions to unsolved problems.
