I went to school to study finance because I loved the idea of working in the business world with an emphasis on the thrill of numbers. My first few months on the job had nothing to do with the prior conception of the field. I knew that while I loved business, I despised the corporate slow-paced style of work, so I quickly jumped ship and taught myself to code, eventually taking a 10-week boot camp. Since that time, I have learned technologies from a vastly different areas of the programming universe,including web apps, bash scripts, web scrapers, Android apps... I am very much a generalist, because my value lies in being able to see the picture, whether programming or not. This allows me to see opportunities that may otherwise be missed due to focusing too deeply on a small subset of components. Truly, my biggest passion is spotting kinks in a grand system, and finding ways to make those kinks among the most robust components of the entire system.
