About Me

Before getting into development, I was working as a corporate paralegal and gearing up to go to law school. I have always been drawn to the logical structure and theory of law, but I quickly found actual practice overwhelmingly routine and generally unenjoyable. When I was studying for the LSAT, I fell in love with the logic section and wondered what other careers might tap into that strength. Additionally, I had already started developing my programming skills as a paralegal: I was able to script a bit over 50% of my job using AutoHotKey and some other software offerings. As a result of the LSAT and my success at automation, I decided to bite the bullet and pursue programming as a career. I am looking for a company where I can be challenged and where I can learn a lot from my team. I feel most at home on the Back End, but I am comfortable working anywhere across the stack, provided I have plenty of opportunities to conduct ‘deep work.’
