I am Althea from the Navajo Nation. I completed the Flatiron School Software Engineering Program in June 2022, and am currently working on a contract with @boazsender, @sienachiang, and @orientaljanedoe. I have experience with Rails, React, setting up front end build processes, and testing workflows. I enjoy wire framing, ui, ux and design in general.
- 🌱 I’m looking for my first full time engineering role at an organization that shares my values, and has the resources to mentor me and help me grow.
- 🔭 I’m looking for a role starting in August 2022.
- 🤔 I’m looking for help with engineering mentorship.
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate with other front-end web developers
Before Flatiron, I worked for Cozykin, a nanny startup that was acquired in 2020. I started as a nanny, and moved into a Care Manager in HQ. As a care manager, I did user experience research with our community of nannies, which we used to design a new nanny share management product to track children’s daily activities and enable communication between nannies and parents. I was also the primary owner of a program we created called Backup Care, which provided on-call nannies to families whenever their assigned nanny called out. I managed between 15-30 nannies at any given time, and created my own scheduling system using Airtable, Slack and Zapier.
