About Me
I am a full-stack software engineer with a background in chemistry, research, and product development for small businesses.
After a long, rewarding career as a chemist, my interest began to shift towards software and technology as I got first-hand
experience in implementing a web-based tech support system for customers using our products. Over just a few years of implementation,
I collected and monitored web traffic and statistics through the software's Google analytics. This was extremely exciting to me
because I can physically see what kind of information our customers needed! Through this experience I began to understand how
software not only helps users get fast, reliable support but also to provide balance for small businesses that have limited resources.
With a good understanding of product life-cycle, research, and user experience, I utilize these same skills to build software that lasts.
