Oh hey. I'm Amanda. I'm a Software Development Engineer (SDE) Military Apprentice @amazon; @FlatironSchool (software engineering) and @DePauwU (creative writing + theater) grad; wife to a UX Researcher + USMC veteran; and "MomMom" to a three year old boy and Maine Coon cat.

In a nutshell, I'm probably a combination of Jessica Jones, Giselle from Enchanted, and Michael Scott.

I had dashed ambitions of being cast as fem Thor--thanks, Natalie Portman.

I also have a genetic condition that makes me laugh at my own jokes harder than anyone else.

I'm a big fan of @WaltDisneyWorld, SNL, video games, movies, horror / thriller / crime fiction, non-toxic beauty + home products, holistic health, mythology + ghost stories, @webtoon comics, finding new music, running, and writing. Feel free to connect about any shared interests.

My husband and I try to keep up our own site, Intercoastals, where we share what we're up to, and in this thread, I've shared articles I've written about being a remote @FlatironSchool student.
