If there is a technical problem, I will solve it with my own ingenuity.
I have a deep appreciation of how things work. In almost every team I’ve been on, I’ve been known as a tinkerer and a source of ingenuity. In work, school, and my personal life this has led me to create inventions to help people, such as python code to help streamline my team’s pipelines and user interfaces to enable my team members to interact with data. I find a profound sense of fulfillment when I can make others use my creations to make their lives easier.
