Hello! 👋🏽 My name is Jenn, and I am a passionate Software Engineer dedicated to making the world a more just and equitable place through the creation of beautiful, intuitive, and impactful software solutions. With a strong focus on modern web development and user experience, I believe in harnessing the power of empathy to build applications that truly resonate with users.

My journey into the world of software engineering is a testament to my adaptability and determination. I started my career in marketing, where I honed my skills in understanding user behavior 👤, crafting compelling messaging 💬, and driving engagement 📈. This background has proven to be an invaluable asset in my transition to software engineering. It enables me to not only create technically robust solutions but also to ensure they meet the needs and expectations of end-users.

I've had the privilege of working with clients such as DreamWorks 🍿, Netflix 🎥 , and the City of Santa Monica 🌊. I successfully revamped and maintained their websites, combining my marketing expertise with software engineering to deliver exceptional digital experiences that captivate and engage their audiences.

Let's connect and work together towards a brighter and more inclusive digital future! ✨
