As a highly motivated and coachable full stack developer, I am looking forward to continuing to develop my overall abilities wherever my career takes me. With the soft skills I have developed through my time working in the food industry coupled with my growing technical skills, I am able to effectively communicate with coworkers, stay focused in the face of increasing deadline pressure, and most importantly, increase production speed.
