About me
Hello!
I’m Marie, a Software Engineer who genuinely enjoys turning ideas into functional, thoughtful web
experiences. I work with JavaScript, CSS, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB to build full-stack applications that
are responsive and user focused. I am someone who finds satisfaction in figuring things out whether it’s
fixing bugs, refining features, or learning something new along the way.
Before transitioning into Software Engineering, I built my foundation in web and graphic design. I worked on
creating marketing materials, graphics, and infographics for various industries, such as Amazon, Target, Iron
Mountain, BH Photo, and FedEx. That experience helped me refine my ability to manage tight deadlines, maintain
high-quality standards under pressure, and produce work that not only meets but enhances the user experience.
I later extended those skills to support startups, small businesses, and individuals, helping them develop
their brand and online presence.
Beyond tech, I'm an artist and visual storyteller using my creative talents to uplift and empower local
communities.
Knowledge:
Living, learning, and launching forward one day at a time.
