About Me
I'm a software developer, but I come from a background of 11 years working in pharmaceutical research, at which point I came to the realization that I didn't find it particularly satisfying. More than anything, I am driven by the need to create, be it a story, a website, or an app for a user to interact with. As a teenager, I taught myself HTML by breaking down the source code of websites and reassembling it how I wanted. It's that act of making something or solving a problem, being able to point to something and say, "I made that happen," that's what scratches that inner itch, but I wasn't ever really afforded that opportunity in my career.
I want to work in a team environment: It gives me the opportunity to bounce ideas off others, to get a fresh perspective from someone who isn't as far down the rabbit hole as myself. I think what's made me a better programmer is that willingness to challenge and be challenged on solutions to problems. I can provide my best solution, but I know it's not always the best there is.
