Hi! I'm Anna, a software developer who thrives on turning complex puzzles into elegant, user-friendly solutions. My current playground is the Salesforce platform, where I design and implement everything from data schemas to UI components, backend services, and app security—basically, if it's part of our system, I've probably touched it. But my favorite part of the job isn't just the code; it's presenting ideas to our users and sharing those "aha!" moments with the team. There's nothing like solving a tricky problem and celebrating that win together.

When I'm not coding at work, you can find me mentoring newer team members, especially recent graduates who are just stepping into the tech world. Helping others grow is just as rewarding as writing the perfect algorithm. I also oversee deployments and collaborate on solution designs to ensure our team's work is rock-solid and future-proof.

When I'm not coding anywhere else, you can find me reading, crafting, watching sports, or talking about all of the above. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from the University of Alabama. Roll Tide! So as you'd guess, I'm a huge football fan, but my love for sports doesn't stop there. I'm especially passionate about advocating for women's sports and leveling the playing field when it comes to media awareness. If there's a game on, there's a good chance I'm watching.

Books are another passion of mine - epic fantasy, rom-com, interesting memoirs - I read it all. I'm always on the hunt for the next great read or debating theories about what's coming next in my favorite fictional worlds. If there is no game on or I'm between books, then out come the craft supplies. Building physical projects is just as satisfying coding virtual ones. (And de-tangling yarn can be just as frustrating as hunting down the source of a bug.) Then it's fun to swap creations with friends once finished!

Whether I'm diving into a coding challenge, mentoring a colleague, or cheering on my favorite team, I bring energy, curiosity, and a sense of fun to everything I do.
