With a background in hospitality and childcare, my journey into coding started as a curiosity nurtured by friends and family.
I am constantly seeking new opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills.
For the past 5 years, I've attended technical courses and immersive experiences like Makers Academy coding bootcamp and Chingu Voyage 46 program.
I am currently implementing a fully deployed full-stack app called Craft-Purse.
Currently Learning and practising: Python, Scala, Kotlin.
Interesting facts about my learning: I have over 570 honor on Codewars, my profile here and I love receiving feedback!

During the 16-week intensive coding bootcamp at Makers Academy, I gained practical, hands-on experience and honed a diverse range of technical skills.
- Object-oriented programming principles (OOP), like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction and MVC (Model-View-Controller)
- Test-driven development (TDD) and behaviour-driven development (BDD) using RSpec, Jest and Cypress
- Building web applications using React, JavaScript, Node.js, Express, HTML, and CSS.
- Building web applications using Ruby, ERB and Sinatra.
- Making HTTP requests to external APIs
- Working with databases, specifically Postgresql and MongoDB
- Using Git for version control and collaborating with team members through GitHub
- Command-line tools like Bash and Zsh for managing files and directories, automating tasks, and interacting with Git
- Agile development methodologies and pair programming techniques
- Managing time constraints while running Project engineering 1 Cohort Demo. By effectively planning and allocating time for each agenda item, I can facilitate meaningful discussions, gather valuable feedback, and identify actionable improvements within the given time frame.
Bachelor's Degree: Political Science
- Learn CSS Course
- Learn Ruby Course
- Learn Javascript Course
- Learn Git & GitHub Course
- Learn the Command Line Course
- I have honed my verbal and written communication skills and have proven to be a valuable team player throughout the various stages of engineering projects, particularly when making critical decisions.
- I have also gained experience in supporting colleagues who may feel discouraged under pressure, motivating and inspiring the team .
- I actively engaged in pair programming sessions, every day throughout the course, working closely with classmates to efficiently solve problems, share knowledge, and enhance my coding abilities, and also through attending EQ workshops.
- Especially during our team projects, I gained familiarity with Agile development methodologies, applied as a part of a Team. During Makers and Chingu, I actively participated in daily stand-up and stand-down meetings, where we discussed progress, challenges, and planned the daily work using Jira to manage tasks.
- Working effectively in several teams, valuing different perspectives and contributing to a positive team dynamic allowed me to improve my Team Work skills and meet the deadlines
- Through my experience in Test-Driven Development, I have discovered the importance of writing tests using testing frameworks like RSpec, Jest, and Cypressbefore implementing functionality, as it allows me to validate my code and ensure its proper functionality.
- I applied Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts to design and structure my code in a modular and maintainable way.
Through my engineering projects at Makers and Chingu, I have honed my skills in building full-stack web applications using modern frameworks and technologies such as:
- React, Typescript, Node.js, MongoDB and Express
- HTML, CSS, Javascript
- Ruby, Sinatra
- Rspec, Jest, Cypress
- Jira board
- I am always learning something new or consolidating my skills. I have consolidated my management skills as a Leader of a team in the Chingu Voyage 46, where I had responsibility as a Product Owner and Scrum Master.
