Jasmin

Writer, programmer, morning-person.


Being a Software Developer allows me to use logic and creativity to build impactful, human results for businesses and their clients. I'm a firm believer in hustle over luck and bringing a great attitude into every day. I love people, the big picture, and solving tough problems.

Prior to programming, I was co-founder of Sideshow Sign Co., where I worked as liaison between designer and client, talent and buyer, customer and corporate- speaking both languages, knowing both worlds and bridging the gap. I believe this skill makes for good product, happy clients, and a better day’s work. Let’s connect.
