I'm Ja'Lisha Higgs, mostly know as 'Jay'. I'm looking to be part of a collaborative team of engineers who foster a community of creativity and innovation.
I come from a literary and customer service background. I love coding because it allows me to combine my creativity and problem solving abilities to provide quality products for users.
After going through App Academy's rigorous course myself, I was hiried onto the placements team where I've helped countless aspiring SWE's polish off their projects/portfolios, prepared them for technical interviews, and ,ultimately, helped them land their first role as a Software Engineer!
