What I'm up to now

I'm currently working at Five9 in San Ramon, CA as a software engineer on the AI applications and core applications team. Our tech stack includes React/Redux/TypeScript on the front-end and Java/Spring on the back-end. I've been able to work on some pretty cool projects, and it's awesome to be a part of a team that's transforming the cloud contact center.

Why Software Engineering

As a former educator and STEM program manager, I felt my contributions and witnessed impact through my students and their families. While I loved this direct change, I realized that many moments that brought me joy were when I solved difficult technical problems that automated processes for my team. This was the helpfulness and technical contribution that I wanted to iterate. Combined with a passion to want to create more of an impact in the world, I made a career transition into software engineering.
