Q What do you do?
“I integrate my passion for code with six years of experience in QA/UAT, marketing, e-commerce, and communications, allowing me to use an interdisciplinary approach to help teams solve complex technical problems.”
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
In this dynamic and ever-evolving digital landscape, I embarked on an exciting journey that seamlessly blends my passion for lifestyle and fashion with a newfound love for technology. Having collaborated with numerous lifestyle and fashion brands to navigate the digital realm, I was inspired to take my skills to the next level.
My journey began at Scandinave Spa, where I assumed the responsibility of spearheading all Digital Marketing initiatives across their four locations nationwide. As I delved into the role, I found myself making small updates on their WordPress website and gradually delving into the fascinating world of coding. This led me ""jump in the deep end"" and I decided to attend a Software Engineering Bootcamp in the heart of New York City during the Summer of 2019.
Since then, I have been working as a Full Stack Developer, combining my comprehensive Digital Marketing experience with strong technical proficiency to craft impactful companies, branded products, and unparalleled digital experiences. My diverse background as a UAT Analyst and SDET has further enriched my skill set, empowering me to implement robust testing strategies and processes, ensuring impeccable product reliability and unmatched user satisfaction.
Through this fulfilling journey, I have not only embraced the challenges of the digital landscape but also harnessed the power of technology to unlock new realms of creativity and innovation. As I continue to evolve, I am excited to forge ahead, inspiring change and driving growth at the intersection of technology and creativity.
Q How do you stand out in your field?
My expertise in marketing and QA allows me to approach software development projects with a unique perspective, ensuring that products not only meet technical requirements but also achieve business objectives and deliver an exceptional user experience. My ability to analyze complex problems, develop innovative solutions, and oversee QA processes has made me a valuable asset to any organization.
Q What are you working on right now?
I work as Full Stack Developer, Digital Marketing Specialist and SDET.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
It would be ideal if I can have a perfect mix of Web Development and Creative/Digital Marketing world. I think my choice really depends on the day or season of life I am in.
Q What is frustrating you right now?
I wish that I had more time to work on personal projects just for fun.
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
I definitely need help with figuring out how to do taxes better, and freelance finances.
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
To trust the process, and to not be afraid of owning your professional experience, even if it's not at first-look relevant to your current employment. You should be proud of your professional experience, working as a Massage Therapist, and then a Digital Marketer, and now a Full Stack Developer and SDET.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
I am currently learning about the word of testing automation for software, and how implementing automate tests can improve a companies workflow.
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
I am looking for long-term and short-term freelance opportunities in Web Development, Digital Marketing or helping a company strengthen or implement a QA strategy.
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
I love being involved in projects at all different periods of time, whether it's at the very beginning or in an iterative moment to help think through and improve websites, digital marketing or processes. An example of a recent experience would be that I was brought onto the Web & Marketing team at Outside Lands, to help implement their new branding for this year and make all the website updates. sfoutsidelands.com
