About
Hello there! I'm Helen, a proud graduate of Carleton University, where my passion for software development flourished. With hands-on expertise in Node.js, MongoDB/Mongoose, and ongoing exploration into React.js and Next.js, I am poised to take on a front-end or full-stack developer role. Proficient in C, C++, and Java, I bring a diverse skill set to the table. Beyond coding, my interests extend to the realm of data science and research analysis, where my proficiency in SQL, Python, and tools like SAS and SPSS comes into play. Currently, I thrive as a tutor in the dynamic landscape of edtech. Outside of the tech world, you'll catch me knitting, crocheting, or enjoying the outdoors at the park!
