Back End Software Developer

Environmentalist, educator, world traveler, music lover, collaborator, lifelong language learner, running enthusiast, aspiring paella chef, 6th grade Spelling Bee champion, teacher, student, gardener and Peace Corps volunteer. I'm an enthusiastic and resilient developer with a focus on backend engineering, Ruby on Rails and creating and consuming APIs. Prior to software development, I worked in the educational and environmental sectors, teaching languages (English, Spanish and French) and ecology, and conducting trainings and intensive projects based on environmental, health and social issues. I made the switch to software development born from the desires to grow personally, to have a larger impact through tech, and to further challenge myself professionally and intellectually. Whether fleshing out the bigger picture, or deep in the weeds of a complicated feature, I love the process of researching and implementing quality code and learning from developers from all paths to discover and implement new ways to do something, and to built and maintain something great. My experiences collaborating with others and working to solve ambiguous, complex issues as an educator and Peace Corps volunteer, my lifelong pursuit of learning, puzzling, and finding solutions, and my passion for making a difference in the lives of others are just a small part of what I have to offer. If you would like to share experiences or connect, please reach out and let's arrange a time to meet!

Creative, Adaptable, Hard Working Front End Engineer!

I am a software developer about to graduate from the Turing school of software development! I am very excited to join the industry after coming from a background in the music business, management, and performance, as well as years of experience in education and higher education. The skills that I’ve gained in the past 15 years of my life as a Musician and Educator have been transferable to learning all new skill sets involved with the software development field demands. As a lifelong learner, I know the hours, and time it takes to learn new skills and the intricacies of your trade.

Front End Software Engineer with experience in Project Management

Born & raised in Wisconsin, having lived in France, and now a resident of Colorado for over a decade, I have an eclectic mix of experiences and interests as my resume probably shows. I’ve worked a lot of different jobs over the years: retail, building services (read: janitor), math tutor, and I was even a stadium vendor at Sea World for a summer. Most recently I worked in home-building managing the build of those homes until I could hand it off to a happy home-buyer. But there was something about this work that wasn’t fulfilling in the way I wanted. Leaning on my past for insight into a career-change, my varied experiences have given me insight into what I want and expect out of a career—to always be learning, trying new things, and setting new goals. I am now in the field of tech because the work is… you guessed it, eclectic! What I love most about tech, and particularly programming, is the ability to set out with a vision and see it through to its deliverable fruition. And considering all of the technologies, frameworks, and languages, the possibilities are endless. So that’s why I am here now, and maybe why you’re reading this—I’m a front-end software developer skilled in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I’m growth-minded, always looking to improve myself. I’m a people-person, easy to talk to and easy to know. And I love building, fixing, and improving anything (homes or web applications) so much that it's sometimes hard to stop the work I’ve started. I would love to bring these experiences and skills to a company who is looking for a developer who can add immediate value to a team, and contribute meaningfully to how they build, develop and maintain their products.

Front-End Software Developer | Photographer

As an avid climber and hiker, I have the desire to learn, explore, grow, and be challenged and that is what I love about adventure. This journey has led me to Software Development and I am excited to move into the Tech Industry with a focus on Frontend Development using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. For the past 6 years, I have worked in the climbing gym industry as a Team Manager/Coach for a Youth Climbing Team. Specializing in mentorship, cultivating leadership, and building community, I thrived working with athletes to help them learn and grow as climbers and people. And as a freelance photographer for the past 15 years, I am inspired by light, texture, composition, and capturing the beauty in the world around me.

Front-End Software Engineer | React | JavaScript

I'm Alycia, front-end software engineer, former SLP / business owner / university instructor, and forever lover of all things language-related (yes, this includes languages like JavaScript and HTML!). I'm seeking a dynamic job that pushes me to put my creative problem-solving and organizational skills to good use. I thrive on teams that recognize the importance of both flexible, collaborative partnerships and solo focus time. I am equally comfortable and capable in leading and following roles. A pragmatist at heart, my passion is efficiency - finding ways to work smarter and still turn out a fantastic product that wows the user - that's my jam. In my previous professional settings, I enjoyed a solid reputation as an organized, effective problem-solver, a strong communicator, and a builder of proficient systems. I am most excited about EdTech and MedTech, but am open to any team that likes to get stuff done.

Front-End Developer | Former Service-Industry Manager | People-Focused Creative Thinker

Whether managing coffee shops or working as an actor in the theatre, my career path has consistently been defined by my passion and skill for working with people. I find my greatest fulfillment in: * Fostering connections and community through excellent experiences * Anticipating and meeting people's needs through thoughtful planning and organization * Creating organized, efficient, and user-friendly systems in service of their users Now as the struggles from the pandemic have inspired me to look to a new industry, I am excited to find one where I can continue applying these passions in the service of creating excellent user-experiences through software engineering. I am currently based in Denver, Colorado, and am interested in hybrid / remote work and in relocating abroad to join a company whose values align with my own.

A developer wizard with an agile heart. A slayer of code, a defeater of fiery barriers, and a comrade to all on the battlefield!

My experiences in program management and beyond continue to traverse their way through everything I do. I bring over 20 years of professional experience with an open mind to continuously adjust and learn to keep moving forward. I believe that great leadership, collaboration, transparency, and quality over quantity is integral in providing an opportunity for success and look forward to a chance to apply those beliefs in the tech field. My personal journey has had many twists and turns but with a common foundational drive of passion and perseverance. From brain surgery to unexpected loss as well as a few career changes, this all drove me to strengthen my resolve and hone my skills. I follow my zeal to leverage the desire to help and create in tech and software development. I sharpen my skills on the weekends by taking on challenges ranging from climbing 14,000+ foot tall peaks, to raising a family with my loving wife, to simply making dinner on time. I find there are chances to enhance my craft no matter the event!
