My Story
In my former career in accounting, I worked heavily in Excel to construct financial models to discover valuable insights. Despite how boring spreadsheets may sound, I genuinely enjoyed building my models to be intuitive and helpful in decision making. I quickly learned to spice up my models by crafting interfaces with borders and background colors, adding buttons to fire off macros and pulling data from the web using VBA.
My career was going great ...
At least until I stumbled upon a rare chance to participate in a Google UX Study where I reviewed experimental Google apps. Reviewing these apps to provide UX feedback reminded me of my own excel models and how I love the brainstorming behind designing and building their functionality.
Curious to see if I could build my own apps ...
I attended Full Stack Academy of Code to learn how to build full stack applications. Now as a software engineer, I enjoy breaking down app features into small tasks to deliver on user stories.
