I built my first website when I was 11 years old, using Windows Notepad and lots of animated GIFs. There may or may not have been a MIDI song playing in the background as well. One thing for sure, I was hooked.
Friends, peers, teachers, and colleagues have always said that I am a great listener and empathizer. I seek first to understand before being understood. I am comfortable being uncomfortable, and presenting complex concepts to large audiences allows me to be that integral glue between teams.
This combination of interest in technology and soft skills paved a natural path to getting started in this exciting industry.
