A Little About Me

I’m a full-stack software engineer with a background in product management. I’m based in Toronto but writing code for all parts of the world.
‍

As a product manager, I struggled to connect with the engineers due to my limited understanding of their work. To bridge this gap, I researched and learned about software engineering - little did I know I would enjoy it enough to pursue a career in it!
‍

I love the instant gratification of seeing output as soon as I input something, and the fact that there are always practical solutions available for different issues that I can try out easily. I also admire the huge community of like-minded people in the field who are always ready to help. It makes me feel like I've finally found my tribe!

When I'm not coding...

...I'm most likely immersed in a book with a coffee in my hand.

I love wandering the city and explore new neighbourhoods. Sandwiches are a food group for me, so I'm always on the hunt for a great one! Let me know your fave spot and I'll share mine!

To know a little more about me, here's a sneak peak into almost all the things that make my heart smile!
