About Me

I'm an extroverted, passionate software developer and abstract artist who enjoys painting with the magical tools of programming languages to render visually striking, artistically-driven web applications. After learning C# and .NET in the back end, I'm intrigued with the problem solving puzzles in SQL queries while also building RESTful APIs. After a decade of teaching language and a year transitioning into art full-time, I pursued software development to marry all my creative interests and channel the elements that make me thrive: creation, ideation, problem-solving, dynamism, challenge, mentorship and teamwork.

Crystal Elsey

"If you are looking for someone with incredible potential, an eagerness to learn and grow, and a high level of emotional intelligence and teamwork, Sarah will exceed your expectations at every turn."

Steve Brownlee

Head Coach, Instructor at Nashville Software School

"Sarah is a gifted programmer with knack for problem solving and a hunger for learning that makes her an invaluable member of any team she is a part of. During my time as her instructor, Sarah stood out as someone who pursued solutions with a dogged determination and drive that sets her apart from other newly minted developers. If she can find an answer, she will find it, and if she can't she will seek out the mentorship and advice of more senior members until she has the tools she needs to continue."

Mo Silvera

Junior Instructor at Nashville Software School

"Her ability to plan and design, then execute that plan never ceased to amaze me. Her solutions to problems were thoughtful and well executed and in every single case the group was better off for her contributions. When you factor in her creativity and artistic ability with her logic and problem solving skills, Sarah brings a unique combination of skills that are extremely rare and would be an asset to any team.."
