Summary

My journey started where running my own ecommerce business really ignited my passion for the web. Since then I’ve been in the industry for 8 years, honing my skills and bringing value to my clients and employers. As a previously self-taught programmer I wanted it to be clear to my employers and myself that I am invested in my own future career by taking classes through Centriq to expand my full-stack knowledge adding C#, .NET, and SQL. My end-goal is to someday to reach a position where my contributions could have a larger impact on a business, potentially helping shape the roadmap of solutions being built for years to come. I would love the opportunity to speak with you more about how I could contribute to your team.
