What Sets Me Apart
Clean, Secure Code
I am sure you hear this from many developers, although I have the pudding to prove it; in my most recent start-up, I reduced code duplication up to 90% by abstracting and librarifying code in chained micro-services, then published it as an internal NPM Package
UX
I believe that as a developer, I have the ability to enrich an end user's life, and ultimately, enable them to think and feel through enhanced and inspiring user experiences. I am assiduos about everything user-facing and I am pro-inclusion. I have no problem getting on a call with a user and finding out how I can improve their experience, as I have done in the first start-up I worked at
Cultural Appreciation
I was raised in a country renowned for it's cultural diversity,I have learned to be aware of celebrate diversity but to appreciate and celebrate it, especially after working with an international team that ranged from Nigerian to Russian
High EQ enabled Communication
I worked in customer service where there is little to no space for a low emotional quotient and verbal and written communication is pivotal. In addition to this, I have had exposure to writing Technical Documentation in both conpanies I have worked at as a developer
About
I am a 29-year-old lady who is excited and inspired by music, travel and the people around me. I have a steadfast love for scented candles, drumming, gardening and my two dogs. I have a witty sense of humor and I am not afraid to use it, especially to make others laugh. I also pride myself as an intuitive individual who has a knack for reading rooms, even if they are on Google hangouts!
