A Bit About Me...
I'm a wearer of many hats: engineer, designer, writer, and Scrum Master. (If you check out the Hobbies section below, you'll see that I have a whole trunk of non-work hats, too!)
My very first coding class was in HTML and CSS, in high school. I loved being able to make pretty things on a screen, without having to hold a paintbrush or pencil. After that class, I started learning about Java and Object Oriented Programming, evenutally cumulating in a B.S. in Computer Science from American Univeristy. (Also a B.A. in Journalism, but that's another story...)
I currently work as a software engineer at Argon ST, a contractor under Boeing.
The Fun Section!
AKA other hobbies that I have.
Figure skating
I started skating in January of 2019. I've made a lot of progress since then, especially with jumps, which are my favorite element! I hope to perform a program someday...
Watercolors
Painting fascinated me as a kid, but I never invested the time to learn until the COVID-19 lockdown. Since then, I've been learning how to work with watercolors and to paint a variety of trees.
Traveling
I've been a couple different places, and I have a whole lot more to go! One lifetime dream I have is to eat my way around the world, or at least as many countries as possible. Currrently next up on my list: Amsterdam, South Korea, and Italy!
