About me

From Neuroscientist to HR Leader to Software Developer, my journey reflects a diverse and dynamic career path. I had the privilege of joining a tech startup as hire number 8 and supported its growth to a successful acquisition. Working with passionate technical teams sparked my interest in software development, and my recent bootcamp experience at Maker's Academy solidified my desire to pursue this path.
I've recently joined Solirius Consulting as a Test Engineer, dedicated to expanding my expertise in languages, tools and processes that allow me to contribute effectively to quality assurance workflows.
In my spare time I continue to work on projects that spark my interest (see below), with a new movie recommendation web app in the works.
