About

Here is a little background

My driving force has always been to help clients and organizations achieve positive outcomes. For over a decade, I've supported law firms with local cases, creating bespoke multimedia content and presentations. In 2015, I obtained my Master's Degree in Public Administration from UNM, pivoting my attention to Organizational Development and Leadership. In the subsequent seven years, I've undertaken diverse roles in non-profit leadership, conservation, and continued my freelance venture. My experiences have revealed a passion for crafting custom software solutions for web and mobile platforms. As such, I've primarily concentrated on software development in recent years.
