About me
I'm a software engineer based in the Washington, D.C. area. I'm originally from New York and have a non-traditional tech background. I worked in the healthcare industry for over ten years and transitioned to software engineering by remotely attending a 7-month program at Turing School of Software & Design.
My work
In February 2023, I joined the Foundation as a Software Engineer Intern on the Design Systems Team. During the internship, I collaborated with cross-functional roles and shipped production code. In August 2023, I transitioned to a full-time contributor.
