Hey everyone! 👋

I'm new here, but not new to development. I'm a former "full stack" developer turned UI engineer. I specialize in React, I know, not very unique 😉. I was very into personal branding and great at networking for awhile, then had kids, went through some burnout, and have had a hard time getting back into the swing of networking. This looks like a fun community, and I'm looking forward to checking it out more and hopefully sharing here as well as on my blog.

In my spare time I've been into tinkering with synthesizers (especially with the open source VCV Rack software-based modular synth); I'm not great at making music, but love playing with all the different sounds you can make by modifying an electrical signal.

In answer to the question above, I used to consider myself an extravert, but I've since learned I'm actually an introvert and need to take time to myself often otherwise I will burn out.
