My name is Alessandra Vertrees, and I’m a software developer and multimedia artist living in New York City.
With a diverse background that includes full stack web development, UI/UX design, and grassroots activism, I am experienced in working on teams of all sizes to achieve milestones of varying complexities. Inspired by the potential of media and technology, I am passionate about creating interfaces and experiences that engage and inform.
Having grown up in a creative family on a farm in upstate New York, I have always enjoyed observing the world through the lenses of art and science. During my time at Hunter College, I discovered an interest in technology, one that came naturally as a symbiotic relationship between my creative and technical skills.
Utilizing my training from the Flatiron School, I look forward to implementing my analytical, technical, and creative skills to help innovate the field and empower individuals.
