a passionate introvert who loves building things with code
During my undergraduate studies in mathematics, I discovered the creativity and joy that comes from solving problems. I thought this would be best put into practice as a teacher of mathematics.
After 10 years in the classroom, I have come to realize that the problems I encounter as a teacher are not the same kind of problems I enjoyed solving as an undergraduate. However, I discovered that building things with code presents the types of problems I do want to solve.
In late 2020, I started exploring the world of coding by studying Python and data analysis. By 2022, I was diving deep into web development and learning how to create interactive web applications with JavaScript.
With my newfound programming skills, I built my first web app — a mathematical quiz app — and I used a Python script which helped me more effectively communicate grades to my students. Both these projects presented challenges, but I enjoyed every minute of solving them. It reminded me of the joy I experienced when studying mathematics as an undergraduate.
Since completing these inaugural projects, I have continued to learn and grow. In August 2023, I graduated from the Scrimba Frontend Career Path, built projects with React, and continued to learn new skills such as deepening my understanding of data science. Currently, I am seeking a full-time role where I can bring my joy of problem-solving and technical abilities to have an impact and create prosperous outcomes for buisness objectives.
