Ashen Pennington

Intro

Hi, I’m Ashen, a graphic designer and software engineer. I graduated from the Fullstack Software Engineering Program at Thinkful and have been a freelance graphic designer for about 4 years now. I would consider myself quick to pick up new skills as well as eager to challenge myself. Here's some examples of my design work.

A background in the service and graphic design industries has prepared me in both interpersonal and customer relations, as well as creative problem-solving. My freelance graphic design business has taught me a staggering amount about personal organization and project management, while my experience designing and decorating cakes has made me adept at ingesting a loose idea and formulating that into a finished product.

Currently, I work for Accenture as a software engineer. I've been in an active development roll for two and a half years with them and hope to continue to challenge myself and grow my skill base. Within my role I have suceeded in automating an array of cumbersome manual tasks for a major client that I have been working for to the extent that dozens of man hours per week have been saved. Together my team and I fixed millions of pieces of broken data that have prevented millions of dollars from getting posted to leakage. I also do light data analysis and apply my findings to my development consultation when interfacing with the client.
