I began coding because...
I love solving problems. I love the challenge and reward of it. I've always had a keen eye for detail and subtle differences. I find coding is a great creative outlet and allows me to strengthen my focus.
I'm currently hacking on...
A web application that supports USGS event-based sensor deployments and High-Water Mark data collection efforts. I am a full-stack developer on the project, working on the database, the REST services as well as the login-based web application.
I'm excited about...
What the next thing will be. The next project coming my way, or the next new language to learn. I love that my job is never boring, that I must continue to learn new things to stay on top of my game.
My advice for other women who code is...
Never give up. When I first started, I was overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge. It was humbling, but I kept going and kept learning and kept trying. The challenge of getting over that learning curve fueled me (and continues to fuel me) and the rewards are well worth it.
