About Me πŸ’œ

Hello, World!

I'm Cassandra Smith, a full-stack software engineer based out of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex. I love the process of bringing together logic and art to create responsive websites and web apps that are both user-friendly and engaging. πŸ’» As a problem-solver, I enjoy a challenge and am excited to broaden my skills in an environment that inspires growth, encourages mentorship, and supports continued-learning. 🌟 A couple of things that I am currently learning more about are DevOps methodologies and how they can be used to increase collaboration in teams, and also inclusive UI/UX design and how it is best used to create digital experiences that are fun and accessible for all.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northwestern State University of Louisiana, and a Master of Science in Software Engineering from Kennesaw State University. When I'm not at my computer, I enjoy the usualsβ€”spending time with my family, baking, eating 🍴, reading Scandi-Noir, starting knitting projects that I probably won't finish, and bingeing my favorite shows. Recommendations for dark crime dramas, anything vampire related, and unique eats in the DFW area are always welcome! 😝

Anyway, if you made it this far, thank you and please, feel free to drop me a line!

Sincerely,

Cassandra F. Smith

Personal Portfolio

For this project I built my personal portfolio using React. It was an exciting project to design and built because it gave me the opportunity to learn about and work with the Gatsby framework.
