Hi there! I'm a
About Me
My name is Danielle (she/her).
I am a fourth-year Computer Science student at the University of British Columbia (UBC).
Previously, I was a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) graduate and a CPA-designated public accountant. In Sept 2021, I pivoted from a four-year career in business/financial analysis and project management to pursue my love for coding and solving customer problems -- particularly in the fintech space.
A bit about me:
- My focus is full-stack software engineering, human-computer interaction, and spotlighting coded bias
- I have a deep interest for designing inclusive customer-centric solutions and deriving tangible value from data through technology
- I am currently proficient in Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Ruby on Rails and SQL
- I love solving puzzles, playing tennis, skiing, and venturing into interior design
- Talk to me about Marvel, the Vancouver Canucks and travelling!
