ABOUT ME
Hello, I am Lisa - a Python Backend Developer with a dynamic background in data analytics, design, and user experience. With over 15 years of professional experience, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise, creativity, and problem-solving skills to software development.
My journey began in the design world, where I created engaging digital and print media campaigns, intuitive user interfaces, and game concepts. Over the years, I honed my skills in user testing, project organization, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, which seamlessly transitioned into data analytics. As a certified data analyst, I developed proficiency in data processing, visualization, and insights generation.
Now, I focus on backend development, applying my experience to build scalable, robust systems. My recent training in Python, Django, databases, and cloud services, combined with practical projects, has equipped me with the tools to create impactful software solutions. I’m passionate about merging technical precision with creative problem-solving to deliver systems that are as efficient as they are user-friendly.
I’m excited to take on new challenges in software development and contribute my diverse expertise to innovative projects.
