๐Ÿ“– My Story

My Journey Thus Far ๐ŸŒฑ

I have worked for 2 years in fighting climate change at a Clean Energy startup. I was deeply involved in the product life cycle, from idea to tangible product. Part of the product design involved using Python to simulate and optimize a novel chemical reactor. While I was able to do use data analysis to review the results and optimize our process, I was frustrated that I didn't have the skills to contribute more to the software development in Python.

Why I Love Coding ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿ’ป

Due to my lack of being able to contribute to our chemical model, I started to learn how to code in my evenings after work. The same passion that drew me to Chemical Engineering, I also found in building websites. Skills that I had developed from working at a startup, such as first principles thinking and troubleshooting, helped me to write code.

Where I Want To Go Next ๐Ÿ’ญ

I want to empower the planet and its people through building amazing products. My short term goal is to continue building good fundamentals in full stack applications by joining a company with a culture of growth and contribution.

๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿ’ป Professional Highlights:

Patent co-inventor for process development of a novel hydrogen production process

  • Conduct and present data analysis studies to improve system efficiency (R, Excel, and Python)
  • Improved Python/Cantera chemical model by documenting bugs, reviewing numerical algorithms, and weekly meetings with world leading carbon researcher
