education & experience

Amazon AWS logo

I'm currently interning at Amazon on the AWS Iot Core team. I'm learning Java and AWS systems. I've researched, load tested, and designed solutions to address latency and I'm adding a new feature to the IoT ListThings public API.

Uber logo

I interned at Uber on the Premium and Scheduled Rides team, where I worked with Javascript, React, Redux, and Flow typing and added functionality to allow users to control where ride scheduling is enabled.

Ada Developers Academy logo

In 2019, I joined ADA Developer's Academy's Cohort 12 in Seattle, Washington, where I learned all the skills to be a software developer, such as: computer science and algorithms, practical coding skills, test-driven development, pair programming and team collaboration, and debugging techniques.

University of Washington logo

In Spring 2018, I graduated with a BA in Linguistics from the University of Washington in Seattle. Soon after, I decided I didn't want to pursue a Master's degree and set my sights on software development.

hobbies

cat face

Cats. Especially mine. I call her Dozl. She responds to anything said in a cutesy voice.

loaf of bread

Bread. Mainly eating it, occasionally baking it.

stack of books

Books. Reading them. Admiring them. Fantasy and science fiction are my preferred genres. Nonfiction only if it's pop science, linguistics, or programming.

lightbulb

When I get the time, I like learning new programming languages (I'm working on Rust) and studying human languages.
