About me

For recruiters and fellow techies

Chances are you’ve stubmled across my site because…

  1. We work together or have worked together.
  2. Coded projects together.
  3. I applied for a role and listed this URL as my personal page.
  4. I took a class and shared this github account or website.
  5. Randomly found it.

Always learning

At some point, or another, I’ve listed these classes on my resume. My resume has evolved over time and I try to keep it concise. So why not here. These are actual classes I’ve taken. By that, I mean I’ve had to sit in a classroom at least once a week. The tech or versions can give you an idea about timelines. I’m not current in all the things. (ie. Do you know who SUN is? It used to be a large company. )

Fun tidbit

I studied Japanese (日本語) for 5 years. I’ve passed the first 2 JLPT proficiency exams, started studying for the 3rd but that is on the back burner.

Quotes from colleagues about me:

  • “Great at organizing yourself and others around you. Especially, the way you managed such a diverse and multi-talented team is commendable. Always on top of things and do your best to keep the team and business goals aligned.”
  • “When presented with a complex problem you will drill down to get all the nitty gritty details to see the true issue at hand.”
  • “You’re always doing something.”
