💼 What Makes Me Different

Coming from 15 years in hospitality management and humanitarian work, I bring unique strengths:

✅ User Empathy → Years of solving customer problems translates to UX-focused development

✅ Team Leadership → Trained 50+ employees = documentation, mentoring, code reviews
✅ Crisis Management → High-pressure debugging and troubleshooting under deadlines
✅ Attention to Detail → Medical referral work = thorough testing and data accuracy
