With a background in purchasing, logistics and inventory control, I am adept at system optimization, operational efficiencies,
data analysis and relationship building. I've used my creative and analytical approach to solve problems like targeting and
capitalizing on trends to following the virtual paper trail in the company system and correcting issues somewhere along the supply chain.
With my current set of skills, I hope to use my creative approach to solve complex problems and work together to help others achieve their
goals in the world of tech.
My Tech Story
Born and raised in the good ol' Midwest!
Having learned how to build my own computer, and customize others, I've been interested in the hardware side of things for quite a while.
My interest in software started with the gaming community during my teenage years. From what began as learning about mods and customization, eventually transformed into opening up game files and modifying basic
parameters of the code to get the results I wanted. But software had always looked a bit too "rocket science" for my taste, despite having a long-standing curiosity.
It wasn't until the peak of Covid19, when everything felt somewhat uncertain
in life, that I jumped on the opportunity to begin my software journey and haven't looked back. I never thought I could wrap my head around algorithms and data structures, but now I find myself fully immersed in them!
Turns out that I have quite a passion for it and don't plan on stopping any time soon!
