Thinking outside the box is my speciality. Creative, motivated teams inspire me. I am a visual learner. I like working with React and SQL. I believe user-friendly front-end design can make or break a product. Convenience is everything in the user experience. I am an idea generator. My mission is to be a part of the development of groundbreaking tech solutions that will improve our daily lives. Giving back to our communities is crucial to building our future.
