Summary

Hello! I've used a lot of different technologies for work (Python/Django, PHP/Wordpress, git, SQL, AWS, HTML/CSS/Javascript) and constantly seek new programming experiences on my own, so I'm prepared to help with a wide variety of languages and topics.

Code is a tool for communicating not just with computers, but with humans too - I care a lot about testing code and making it understandable.

PropCheck was building a tool to track and visualize data on rental housing. I designed an initial plan for the project, including automation and monitoring of data extraction/scraping, a relational database, an API, and a single-page web application. I set up Airflow, built a Flask API to make the data accessible to front-end developers, and managed deployment and AWS resources for the rest of the team.
