A quick introduction....

I am a socialable, energetic young woman with a passion for digital technology. I have a deeply ingrained work ethic and draw huge personal satisfaction from delivering the highest quality outcomes to my clients and other stakeholders. I enjoy working within a committed, driven team in a fast paced environment. I am committed to my personal development in the technology sphere and push myself to constantly be learning new skills. I have a quirky sense of humor and enjoy developing new friendships both within a professional context and outside of work. I ride horses in my spare time and feel a strong affinity to the outdoors as I was raised on a farm. I strive to excel both in my work, my studies and also with my hobbies. You be just as likely to find me curled up in a corner reading a book, out talking computers with friends or heading out to ride my horse (in any weather).

I have experience working with the Microsoft Stack, Linux (Command Line and with a GUI) and iOS.

I have written code in C, C#, Java and Python.

I have an interest in scripting for the purpose of automation both in Bash and Powershell.

I have used both MySQL and PostgreSql.

I have studied network & system administration, and have an interest in continuous deployment & integration (devops), also using tool (like Chef/Puppet) to enhance and aid in deployment.

I've worked with Javascript, JQuery, Html, CSS and PHP for web development.

I'm currently interested in using Data visualization applications (like Tableau and Elasticsearch/Kibana) to develop tools for making good data driven decisions to drive better application performance.

I also enjoy using Big Data tools (Hadoop) to manipulate data in a way that can provide more accurate results.
