Natalia Margolis

Welcome!

I’m a tinkerer, quick learner, and map enthusiast. Coming from the nonprofit industry and experience in grassroots movements, I am passionate about software and maps as powerful tools to make the world a better place. With a non-traditional path to software engineering, I have developed a figure-it-out attitude and the ability to pick up new technologies rapidly. I can't wait to work on creative solutions to interesting technical challenges.

This map cover letter and resume will take you through my journey to becoming a software engineer.

...Your company!

My experience figuring out how to solve technical problems on the job in the nonprofit world, combined with the full stack software engineering skills I've learned through Hackbright and self study, would make me a valuable addition to any team. I can't wait to work on finding creative solutions to interesting technical challenges.
