About Me

Hey there! I'm Ashley, a full-stack software engineer based in Minneapolis, MN.

I'm logically minded and creative at heart. I love to solve problems by designing and coding beautifully simple things. I thrive in a fast-paced environment and am passionately in the pursuit of knowledge and optimization.

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I worked as a mechanical engineer in nuclear pharmaceuticals. I enjoyed troubleshooting our project's software so much that I attended Prime Academy to transition to software development. I'm thrilled to have a career in mobile development, working on the mobile applications for Buncha and Shipt.

Over the last 2 years, I've stepped into management leading a team of 6 developers (app and web) to cover projects within Search, Markups & Fees, and Fulfillment.
