Pamela Christian

Software Developer

...

Hello and welcome! I’m glad you are here.

My name is Pamela. A Biomedical Engineer turned Software Developer.

I hail from a small town in north Louisiana: Ruston. Home of Louisiana Tech University where I received by BS in Biomedical Engineering many moons ago. I currently live in Waco, TX (by way of Tampa, Pittsburgh, Long Beach (CA) and a few other countries while on the World Race and at G42.)
In a nutshell, my life currently consists of consuming delicious coffee, a *healthy* addiction to CrossFit, and when I’m not working, getting lost in blackholes of coding. Now if only I could make a living traveling full time…..

I’m in the middle of a coding bootcamp for full-stack web development. So far in this coding journey, I tend to enjoy back-end development over front-end but developing knowledge and practice for both.
Software development always seemed like a very complex world that I thought I would enjoy but didn’t know how to get started. Now that I’ve dipped my toes in, I am starting to see all the many possibilities it has to offer. I love getting behind others dreams and contributing in any way that is helpful and meaningful. I especially like problem solving/critical thinking, challenging the status quo in an effort to only keep what is needed and necessary, and being a calming presence in the event of disarray.
With web development (and eventually full software development), I hope to be a part of a team and organization contributing significantly to the world around us.
