About Ellen C.
Feeling too comfortable makes me antsy. So I’ll jump into pair programming and admit what I don’t know. I’ll use a new technology for a project and learn along the way. I’ll reach out to people whose work I admire. Whether it’s doing a career-180° from grant writing to software development or buying a one-way ticket to Nicaragua, taking calculated risks is what I\'ve always done. Today, I am a backend developer with a cultivated set of soft skills. I build applications and break down problems using a Test Driven approach. I have a knack for creating energetic and goal-oriented partnerships. My personal mission is to combine my backgrounds in non-profits, government, and software development to create technology-driven solutions to civic problems. I’d love to connect if you are into open data, technical blogging or enjoy Chicago style hot dogs. Check out my personal site at ellencornelius.com.
