Hire Me Because

My first career was as a vet tech, and now I’m channeling all the skills I picked up during that time into my new career as a software developer. My creativity, tenacity, love of learning, and passion for problem solving made me a good vet tech, and will make me an even better software developer.


My Capstone Project: GardenSeedr

GardenSeedr is an application that gives the average person the power to more effectively grow their own food. GardenSeedr is a Spring Boot driven application utilizing JavaScript, HTML, Spring Security, Java, MySQL, Bootstrap, OpenFarm API and OpenWeather API. This application provides vital information for new gardeners such as the sunlight, spacing, and spread requirements for the plants they want to grow, as well as a local weather forecast, and virtual representation of their physical garden.

“With technology, I am most passionate about finding the most clean and efficient way to solve a problem.
