What can I say about Chryssa, For starters she has an extreme talent to teach others. Starting the Full-Stack course within Nucamp I wan't sure what I was getting myself into, but having Chryssa as my first instructor was honestly a blessing, she made me and the other students feel extremely comfortable about learning Bootstrap, taking the time to answer our questions and even at times going in depth. Chryssa gave me confidence, knowledge, and not to mention the resources I needed to continue with the course and for that I'm extremely grateful!!

Chryssa is a very talented full-stack developer. Although Chryssa would be very successful in a variety of disciplines, I find that her skills in HTML/CSS/Javascript, developing responsive web front-ends is the most exceptional. Chryssa is very friendly, collaborative, and a natural leader. She shows leadership in product ideation, design, wire framing, and project execution. Chryssa is also very good at server side development in Node.JS coupled with MongoDB. She intuitively understands and solves difficult problems. Chryssa will make a great addition to any software team.

I am currently teaching a foundational class in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript 2015 (ES6). I love teaching, engaging, and challenging my students, and take a very hands-on approach to lecturing, even in a virtual environment, and I consistently score high marks in student feedback.

      As a core member of a small, three-person, agile development team, I am responsible for the design and development of modern front-end and full-stack web applications that support indigenous culture-based education. We built a full-scale, database-driven, iterative application from concept to public launch in just 15 months with only two full-time developers.

We built a full-scale, database-driven, iterative application from concept to public launch in just 15 months with only two full-time developers. While we are all responsible for all areas of the application stack, I am happiest working on the front end and rely on user feedback to inform the next iteration of development. I am very comfortable in HTML5, CSS/SCSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript ES6, Angular 9, TypeScript, RxJS, Firebase and Cloud Firestore, Node.js, Auth0, Zapier, and WordPress. I also have some experience with Python, NativeScript, Flutter, React, and Unity. Outside of my developer role, I frequently participate in department and divisional cross-functional teams, community engagement and outreach, user feedback sessions, strategic alignment meetings, and public speaking. I am a technology trainer for non-technical staff in my department, and have taught others how to use Zoom, Teams, Slack, Trello, Basecamp, InSpace, Jira, and other planning and instructional aids effectively.
