Hi, I'm Gail.
I'm a software engineer with a passion for creative problem-solving and enhancing the user experience. After working as an Account Manager for an electronic medical record company, I discovered that it was the technical side of what I was doing that really fascinated me.
In 2021, I completed a 12-week software engineering immersive boot camp at General Assembly, where I honed my front-end development skills and gained experience in back-end development. My friends often comment on my creativity and ask why I didn't pursue a career in design, but I love being able to bring ideas to life through coding. I'm proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SASS, React, and a variety of tech stacks, and I enjoy collaborating with others on GitHub.
When I'm not coding, you can find me rock climbing, hiking, researching brain/bio-hacking, and baking bread. I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and stay inspired!
My professional goals are centered around my passion for enhancing people's lives and making the world a better place. I'm looking for a workplace that aligns with these values and provides opportunities for mentorship, learning, and growth. I believe in fostering an innovative and communicative environment where employees are recognized as people and can thrive. As a go-to person for answers, I aim to contribute to strategic planning and to work smarter, not harder, in order to make people's lives easier. I'm excited to connect with like-minded individuals and companies who share my vision.

Youtube Clone
This project is a mock-up of the YouTube platform, built using React and leveraging an external API to fetch and display video and channel results. The app features a responsive user panel that provides a range of categories for users to choose from, with each category corresponding to relevant video and channel results. It also includes a search bar, which allows users to search for videos or channels - the search results are displayed in a list or grid view, depending on media width. Each video or channel has a thumbnail image, title, description, and other relevant information. Skills used: React.js, API integration, and responsive web design
