Hello! My name is Desiree Nelson,
and I'm a Full Stack Software Developer

About Me

profile picture

Hey! My name is Desiree, and I am a full-stack software engineer based in New York City. I am engaged by technology as a tool to allow for positive change in the world.

I am a recent graduate of the Grace Hopper Program at FullStack Academy, where we focused on the fundamentals of the "NERD" Stack (Node, Express, React/Redux, and Sequelize Databases.)

Before switching my path into Tech, I earned a Masters in History, worked in Higher Education, and most recently in transportation at the MTA.

When I'm not coding, I can be found experimenting with fermentation, gaming, reading, or spoiling my cats.
