I have experience with using available resources effectively in front-end programming, integrating knowledge gained in previous projects into future work, and helping new employees find their place in an organization. I also have experience with understanding business needs, and balancing these with the technical capabilities of myself and others.

Interests

Apart from code wrangling and chatting with whoever is nearby, I also enjoy playing the bass and learning Kanien'keha. During warmer months, I like to take long walks and sing in places where I'm not disturbing my neighbours. I also like brewing root beer from time to time, but I'm still tweaking the recipe to make it better.

One of my biggest interests right now is watching history videos and documentaries. I'm trying my hand at growing herbs and making bread as a result. Sourdough production is currently delayed due to lack of flour and mourning my first starter: LeVain Breadton.
