Hi! I'm Claire! I am many things and here are a few: I'm a Full Stack Developer. I'm also a current Co-host and Open Source Developer for Hack for LA. I'm an active member and volunteer in the LA community.

Here are some groups that I've been involved with:

• Hack for LA
• Learn Teach Code
• Women Who Code
• Girls in Tech
• LA Code Day (Judge for High School Hackathon)
• SGV Linux Group
• DataConLA

Some Technical Skills

I am language agnostic and always open to learning new tech! But here is a quick snapshot of the tech I've worked with.

• Javascript (React, Node, React Native)
• Ruby (Ruby on Rails)
• CSS (SCSS/SASS, Bootstrap, Semantic UI)
• SQL (PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server)
• Adobe Illustrator
• RESTful APIs, Git, Heroku

I'm also experienced in Technical Project Management and have utilized my problem solving and interpersonal skills to support business needs by engaging with all organizational levels. From collecting user requirements to creating UAT test scripts to collaborating with departmental VPs, I successfully managed multi-departmental and cross-functioning projects (Cyber Security Training, Disaster Recovery, and Unified Communications Training Projects).

More on the personal side...

I have a B.S. from the University of Southern California (USC) in Policy, Planning and Development with an emphasis in Policy and Law. (Fight On, Trojans!) I've always loved helping people and giving back to my community and thought government was the way I wanted to do that. However, I always ended up gravitating towards tech over the years. I would love to be able to live and work knowing that my contributions in tech have a positive social and environmental impact on this world.

At the end of it all, I am just a girl who wants to be part of something bigger than herself.
