about me

Terminal Screen
> Hi, I'm Leane!

> I am deeply passionate about utilizing technology for social good. As a software developer at Hack4Impact, I connected with nonprofits to develop powerful new tools for social change. I also worked as a software engineer intern at MCG Health, where I contributed to .NET development in healthcare, and at Bumpups, where I leveraged AI to transform videos into dynamic, interactive experiences.

> My skill set lies at the intersection of backend development and AI in software engineering. I'm especially excited by projects that combine data, thoughtful design, and social purpose, and I aim to pursue a career in SWE where I can keep doing just that.

> Beyond tech, I'm a dedicated horror movie enthusiast, avid fantasy reader, loyal Costco shopper, and animal lover (especially cats). I'm always open to connecting so please feel free to reach out!
