What I hope to do

My mission as a developer is to contribute to applications that empower and improve lives. I believe that through code we can make the world a better place by building products that empower communities. Yes, let's change the world together!

What I'm doing

I recently landed my first software engineer role, made this website blazing fast with Gatsby, and gave my first meetup talk. I am helping others as I advance in my career by sharing my experiences and perspectives through writing, speaking, and mentoring.

On my free time, I attend meetups, listen to engineering podcasts, read tech blogs, and take other online courses in order to help me develop a growth mindset and become a better developer.
