Hello! I'm Chris (she/her)👋

Portfolio • LinkedIn • Twitter

I'm a Toronto-based Software Developer with an affinity for Frontend frameworks and UI/UX. Currently, I'm working as a Frontend Software Engineer at Cohere and a Freelance Web Developer at Top Hat.

As a highschool-teacher-turned-developer, I thrive in working collaboratively in intensive, fast-paced, and pressurized environments. I bring my analytic lens and disciplined training as a classical musician🎶🎹, along with my technical skills, to problem-solve through creativity and thinking "outside the box". I value communication and teamwork, as well as frequent and ongoing feedback to continuously learn and grow 🌱!

I founded a slack workspace/organization called Tech Tank🐟 - a collaborative space for tech enthusiasts of all levels, including developers, designers, project managers, and more - where we study, hang out (in Toronto), and network! Please check us out on LinkedIn and Meetup if you'd like to learn more about our events (virtual and in-person in Toronto)! Here is the link to join the Slack Workspace, and our Github, if you'd like to learn more about contributing to our open-source community✨

When I'm not actively coding or debugging in my dreams, you'll find me playing with my cat 🐈, at the gym 🏋️‍♀️, reading 📚, or binging the latest show📺!

• 💬 Ask me about: transitioning careers, women in tech, cats, books, building community, food...

• 📫 Best ways to reach me: [email protected], or LinkedIn

• 😜 Fun fact: I'm terrified of sharp knives🔪, so I often use ✂️ in the kitchen (please don't judge!)

Currently, my tech stack includes:

I'm currently exploring:

Stay tuned to see my tech list blossom and grow 🌱!
