I began a master's certificate in public health and was introduced to the world of automation through a programming language called R. This led me to teaching myself Python while working in manufacturing at Regeneron. From there, I automated several tasks and then got a job in a more technical role, where I was able to pursue more projects and further my development skills with React.js, Golang, and PostgreSQL. During this time, I also worked on many personal projects and have deployed my own web applications by dockerizing and deploying on AWS App Runner.
