I was a teacher but it was taking too much. Mainly, too much emotional energy. So, I decided to change careers. Now, I’m a software developer, skilled in JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js and React, with experience in full-stack development with Python, Flask, and SQL. With a background in leadership, teaching, and entrepreneurship, I bring adaptability, problem-solving, and a big-picture mindset.
As a teacher I loved creating, sharing and learning with a team of passionate educators. I have noticed that the world of coding whole heartedly believes in many of the same community values. So, this blog is for me but also, as many have done before me, to share.
