From onboarding engineer to engineer-engineer. I spent 5+ years translating complex software into solutions users could actually use—now I build those solutions myself. After completing Ruby on Rails training and building a fully deployed full-stack app (Peace of Mind), I’m actively seeking opportunities where my rapid skill acquisition, problem-solving mindset, and real-world project experience can thrive. I was selected as a RailsConf 2025 Scholar for my engineering potential...and I'm just getting started.
