My interest in web development began while working for a non-profit as I collaborated on software used to plan volunteer trip logistics. During that time, I learned JavaScript, SQL, and HTML and realized I had a passion for building new software features and learning new coding languages. I've since completed a program to learn the MERN stack (Mongo DB, Express, React, and Node) and have worked for several years as a software developer using Python and Node. I then worked as a Community Engineer at Auth0 and enjoyed helping other developers implement a wide range of authentication solutions. Currently, I am a senior software engineer at Kroger Digital, working on the CIAM platform team.
