About Rachel Turek Sullivan
I'm a mathematician, designer, and software developer. My experience in mathematics and graphic design give me the creative and analytical insights that allow me to excel at both front and back end development. I enjoy designing beautiful interfaces and creating efficient algorithms. 20+ years of volunteering for Destination Imagination has built a foundation of design thinking, problem solving, and creative collaboration that allow me to identify and adapt to new challenges quickly and effectively. Working with volunteers from all over the world helped me develop excellent remote collaboration, communication, and project management skills. In 2019, after over a decade of tutoring advanced mathematics, I was selected for an accelerated industry-immersion software development boot camp sponsored by a partnership between American Airlines and Improving Enterprises. Upon graduation, I began working as a consultant for Improving, and greatly enjoyed working with my client to help them roll out two new software features. During the 2020 Pandemic, I founded ARTurek Design and helped facilitate virtual school. In 2021, I rejoined Improving for a Microsoft Dynamics Accelerator.Keywords: Design Thinking, Destination Imagination, Agile, Scrum, Adobe, Illustrator, Creative Cloud, Design, Web, Software, JavaScript, React, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Frontend, SQL, git, Java, Backend, Spring, API, MVC, Angular, Typescript, Node, Selenium IDE, Testing, QA, Mathematics, Algorithms, Music, Volunteering, Creativity
