My background prior to coding was in international business and I was involved with facilitating business between our American firms and companies in Hong Kong and China. My responsibilities were to help navigate communications across the different languages, cultures, values and ideas between the partners.

Additionally, I helped create systems to manage logistics across the entire business cycle coordinating it with each partner’s own systems and procedures. I used simple tools to build these systems but within them were the same problem solving, analytical thinking which I’ve brought to coding.
