I am a Web Developer getting back to what I love doing - coding. At my most recent job, I began as a Principal Software Engineer, and was promoted to an Engineering Manager role. I enjoy managing teams, but I found that I no longer had the time to continue coding alongside my management responsibilities. I missed the thrill I got when I solved a particularly difficult problem, and the satisfaction I felt when a feature that I developed improved our users' experience in some way.

When the opportunity arose for me to leave my job and take some time for myself, I made the decision to attend the Web Development Immersive class at General Assembly to build my web development skills. My development experience is primarily with server-side code, but I became very interested in JavaScript development while managing a team that was developing primarily in JavaScript. It is a challenging language to learn, but when implemented well it can be used to develop web applications that are fun and easy to use.

I am bringing my computer science background, extensive software development experience, and commitment to writing high-quality, easily maintainable code to the world of JavaScript and Web Development. I am looking for opportunites where I can continue to improve my JavaScript skills and use my considerable software development experience to help a team develop kick-ass products for their users.
