Describe your job to someone who doesn't work within the industry.

I am the helper droid - a link between the design and a fully functioning interactive website, to ultimately help someone achieve their goals in life. I fix the coding bugs and breakages and never stop learning as this industry grows and constantly changes.

How do you handle creative blocks?

My fabulous colleagues!

What industry trend are you most excited for this year?

Embracing A.I. can really help with the debugging process, simplify tricky code, or suggest a more efficient way to implement a feature. As such, you become a better developer.

I'm also a Live Sound tech on the weekends for bands and events locally in my area.

What is a common myth about your job?

It’s all just copy and paste and “colouring in” 😁

How do you handle tight deadlines without compromising on quality?

It's vital to communicate any potential development roadblocks and how they might impact the deadline. This allows for the project manager to reassign resources or adjust timelines. Also: "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by." - Douglas Adams

What's one tool or software that you can't live without?
