I can teach you to sing, train a choir to sing together, and write code that harmonizes with your team’s projects. I am a music director turned software developer, proficient in Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, and more to come, as I am graduating soon from a Tech Elevator Full-Stack coding bootcamp. I aspire to start a career in tech, solving problems and meeting customer’s needs through writing code. I first taught myself to code when I was working as a Marketing Manager for a national line of business with Chase, and while it wasn’t part of my job, I found that I loved it. I took over the development and maintenance of a database system for an elite customer service team and ran it for many years. At Chase I was the business lead on several technical projects, and I have also earned a certificate in business analysis, so I have experienced technical projects from all sides. I am an effective communicator, with experience as a Marketing Manager and Communications Director, and have successfully managed projects, people, and budgets. Finally, I am also an active freelance musician, singer, trumpeter, composer/arranger and actor, available for concerts, weddings, funerals, or events. If there is anything I can do to bring some code or music to your life, please feel free to message me!
