About
I supercharge projects. With over 8 years of applicable corporate entrepreneurial endeavors, I am driven to make your project and team outcompete any competition and produce results NOW. A hire who completes tasks assigned and waits for the next sprint isn't going to take your company's vision to the next level. You need a go-getter and a leader; someone who brings a valuable new perspective and takes charge of deficits while knowing when to reach for help. I carry these personal traits into everything I do.
Self-taught in management, computer science, marketing, sales, graphics, and character psychology, I maximize quality and efficiency. With a keen ability to problem-solve and deal with conflict resolution, I've overseen a diverse portfolio of projects and clients. Generating over $300k/year in profits, I have started and grown businesses working with teams of 30+ individuals worldwide. I've powered over 250+ clients consisting of small and medium-sized enterprises. At my business, Vierra, I've learned how to guide a team of 40+ members towards the company's vision by supporting each member's personal goals and integrating those goals into the team's vision. From scratch, I've led the team from an empty GitHub repository to an AI marketing tool with over a $750k evaluation. I'm pursuing my bachelor's and master's in Computer Science for software engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
