About
Developer, passionate about what I do. After spending years in the culinary industry as a pastry chef, with programming as a hobby. I realized my passion for coding was more than just a side project. After dedicating myself and completing the Grace Hopper program at Fullstack Academy (a program with a less than 10% acceptance rate). I excitedly became a fullstack developer. Finding positions where I can practice my problem solving and continue to work on exciting projects. I currently work with Javascript, React, and mobX.
