Noah Griffin

Software Development Engineer @ Amazon

About

I have a combined background in Psychology and Computer Science because I love solving problems, whether that's for people or programs. I am naturally analytical and love applying that to find solutions and help others around me. It is my belief that working hard and doing my best helps those around me succeed as well. Regardless of the role or work I am quick at picking up new skills and have a natural drive to excel at any task. In all my retail roles I have worked in numerous departments, learning the ropes of each. As a quality assurance tester I went from knowing very little about the subject matter to being an expert on my team. I am currently enrolled at Tech Elevator to pursue my love of code. Once I'm done I hope to program for a company that supports my voracious need for knowledge.
