Canby, Oregon
I am currently a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer working in Nike's Global Technology Cloud Acceleration department.
I am a software engineer from Canby, Oregon. I grew up on a small farm, where hard work and being creative and resourceful in order to solve a problem is essential. I recently graduated from George Fox University with a B.S. in Computer Science with a concentration in Cyber Security and a minor in Digital Marketing. I'm currently looking for a software engineering position where I can demonstrate the skills I learned at one of the premier CS schools on the west coast.
I am a fast-learning, personable, quick-thinking extrovert who loves to see the result of hard work. I have already had a wide range of jobs that have equipped me with the ability to learn quickly, and not be afraid to ask for help when I cannot find out the answer on my own.
