I am a junior software engineer experienced in Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Redux. A former journalist and video producer, I became seriously interested in coding after working with basic HTML and CSS in my last two jobs. As a publicist, I worked with HTML and CSS when creating press releases, and I received even more exposure to these languages when I served as the web editor of a print magazine that used WordPress for its digital publication. I saw the creativity parallels between coding and media production and felt my meticulousness and passion for problem solving would serve me well as a programmer. I`m passionate about becoming an eloquent developer and being a lifelong learner of programming languages and frameworks. Having worked in deadline-driven environments for more than 10 years, I`m extremely comfortable under pressure and can learn quickly and adapt seamlessly to unforeseen changes. In the workplace, I`m a reliable team player and strong communicator. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cooking and baking, running, playing piano, learning new languages (currently German), and meeting other developers and learning about new technologies at tech gatherings hosted by Google Developer Group Dublin and Women Who Code Dublin. ©
