Hello! I’m Micaela and I am an aspiring unicorn aka a full-stack developer. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Ohio University and I recently graduated from We Can Code IT, a fast-paced software development bootcamp to enhance my programming knowledge and skills. In my previous position, I worked as a Graphic Designer where I implemented marketing, graphic design, and web strategies. I found myself enthralled with the web application and user application side of my responsibilities which led me to explore the technical side of the design field. I’m excited and driven to take the experience, technical knowledge, and skills I have gained and use them in a professional setting. I look forward to problem solving and implementing new and creative ideas along with learning new emerging technology trends. I enjoy collaboration, but have the flexibility to work independently.

I have over 8 eight years of professional experience as a graphic designer and experience in visual communication, user experience, and marketing. Proven ability to collaborate and work as part of an effective team, deepened technical expertise through research experience and professional training.
