About Aminat A.

I started my journey to code after feeling a lack of creativity and innovation in my daily work life as a Paralegal. Seeking a creative outlet and a desire for personal growth, I decided to explore a challenging and new avenue which led to: Software Engineering.Learning to code has not only provided me with a creative outlet but has also allowed me to challenge myself. Through self-study and the completion of a coding boot camp, I have developed a passion for problem-solving, critical thinking, and a genuine eagerness to learn. I enjoy collaborating with fellow coders. Presently, I engage in seasonal work as a Healthcare IT Consultant while simultaneously volunteering as a Software Engineer. I am actively seeking opportunities to steer my career toward a focus on software engineering. Outside of coding, I spend time with friends and family, exploring new cuisines, play tennis, practice yoga, attend meetups, and contribute to the hosting of Tech Gather NYC.Languages: JavaScript · Python · Java · HTML · CSSFrameworks/Libraries: React · Redux · Flask · Bootstrap · RESTful APIs · TailwindDatabases: MySQL · SQLite · SQLAlchemy · PostgreSQLTools: Git · GitHub · Bcrypt · RenderLet\'s connect!
