Whether it be through writing code, making music, leading a team, or creating something with my hands, my goal has always been to leave things a little more beautiful than I found them. Since beginning my transition to tech, I've loved seeing all the ways my history has prepared me for life in this industry. Collaboration, dedication, attention to detail, independence—all things I bring with me. I'm looking forward to carrying each of them and a little bit of beauty into my work as a software engineer.
