About Me


Constantly challenging the status quo and innovative thinking has led me to today- a web developer. My experiences in the financial industry has made me realize my passion for analyzing data and the importance data has on businesses. With this perspective, I have decided to shift the focus in my career from the client side in finance to analyzing data and transforming it into a user-friendly platform via code. The continual learning, inevitable change, and ability to utilize my creativity to solve problems, has led me to pursue coding as a career.

I am a versatile programmer with solid experiences in the financial industry which include client service, sales, marketing, operations, project management, and process improvement. My diverse skills sets allow me to approach problems and solutions from different perspectives which makes me a well-rounded programmer. The roles I have held have allowed me to understand the needs of clients and how to cater to their needs. These skills are essential to programming since it is not just about having technical skills, but it is about serving clients through technological solutions.

Through code, I hope to make the world a more efficient place and genuinely impact others.
