I’ve always been fascinated by the complex systems that shape our world, whether it’s the logic behind an elaborate computer application or the cultural frameworks that define society. This curiosity led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, where I explored cultural patterns across human history. Years later, while working at a library, I rediscovered that same curiosity through technology. As I helped patrons throughout the day with tech related questions, I pondered the logic behind many of the common applications we use everyday. One answer led to another question, and before long, I was immersed into the world of coding. The analytical mindset I once applied to my studies in Anthropology, guides me in programming. Today, I’m excited to join an engineering team and contribute to meaningful projects.
