Software Engineer

About Me

I am a San Francisco based software engineer.

I recently graduated from Hackbright Academy, a 12 week intensive software engineering program for women. The curriculum includes Python, JavaScript, SQL, HTML/CSS, and various libraries and frameworks.

Previously, I worked as a product manager in the mobile game industry, and I also have a BFA in technical fashion design.

Projects

Here are projects I have built or contributed to!

Game Recommendations

This app provides video game recommendations to users who aren't sure what to play next. The user can make an account, rate games they like and don't like, and get a recommendation based on which platform they want to play on, and which genre of game they're looking to play.

Cat Texts

Cat Texts is a web app that uses the Twilio SMS API to let you text your cat. The user can enter information about their cat and receive texts. The user can respond to those texts, and based on the content of the message, a reply will be chosen using the cat's information. It also sends a daily text to remind you to feed your cat at dinner time.

WoMentor

A Flask app that matches mentors and mentees based on mutual preferences, taking away the hassle of planning meetups when there is already an underlying incompatibility. WoMentor was created by a group of Hackbright Academy graduates for the ExPat Women Hackathon 2017 in San Francisco, CA.
