I've spent the last couple of years transitioning from the operational side of the business world to the development side by learning to code, and I couldn't be happier. I feel like I have finally found my passion. I'm excited to be part of an industry where continuous learning is encouraged and new technologies are always on the horizon. My previous experience before coding has been at early stage mobile technology companies where I specialized in "wearing many hats" in order to facilitate fast-paced growth. Most of my experience has been in areas of Human Resources, but I have broad experience in other operational areas.
