About Me
Hi, my name is Cindy - I'm a staff engineer @ Aetna.
After years of gradually reducing my social media footprint... I decided my internet presence should serve more of a purpose. Dude, I can't believe I used to have google analytics on my previous personal sites. Ew. Wtf, man.
Anyway, I have a pretty classic story: millenial that learned some HTML/CSS/JS as a teen, started out with super basic stuff on Tripod/angelfire, made myspace layouts for my friends, etc. Realized I could do it for a living... and here I am.
I do not have a profile on job/professional sites so my basic rundown can be seen below.
