      Software Engineer by way of film production by way of social activism and
      community organizing. I spent years honing my skills for problem-solving
      while working with, and managing, large teams. Coordinated and organized
      massive political events, and managed production shoots taking place
      across multiple states. I am always aiming for the most fire-proof
      solution to known and unknown problems, and I look at the big picture to
      make sure every little piece fits. Very invested in developing continuous
      feedback loops to diagnose, correct, implement, and perfect the ways in
      which teams can continue to improve upon a goal and as a unit.

    Recent Development Projects
    Table Top Companion:
     
    
    
      My first project using React in addition to Node, Express, and MongoDB.
      This was by far one of my favorite projects to work on and learn from -
      building a full-stack application with a responsive front-end framework
      like react creates all sorts of challenges and possibilities. The app
      itself is built to allow potential table top RPG players, specifically
      Dungeons and Dragons players, to walk through the process of character
      creation, and save/share/view their creations. Deployed using Heroku.

    Hand In Hand
     
    
    
      Developed as a group project where I acted as the product owner and user
      experience developer. The core concept for Hand In Hand was to create a
      simple site that would allow mental health providers and clients to
      exchange documentation relevent to their therapy online. Developed using
      Python and Django, this was an excellent project for learning how to work
      in groups, and some of the developer challenges that entails. Deployed
      using Heroku.

    Rocket League Hub
     
    
    
      My first app developed using Node.js with Express and MongoDB. This is a

      perform CRUD ops in creating posts and user profiles, and utilizes OAuth
      2.0. Deployed using Heroku and Atlas.
