I am a software engineer, mom of 3, and wife of 1.
I worked for the same company through 4 mergers for over 20 years doing large-scale web application development ranging from consulting engagements to in-house identity governance products.
I’ve developed with Angular, React, Typescript/Javascript, CSS, HTML, SQL, PHP, C#, Objective-C, and Java.
As part of “hack time” and as pet projects for my kids, I designed and coded educational apps and web games, at times teaming up with friends. I still love coming up with ways to combine learning and playing.
I volunteer at the public schools when possible and enjoyed running school-wide events with my mom-friends such as the International Festival and Talent Shows. I also really enjoyed volunteering to build the websites for the elementary school PTA, the middle school PTSA, and high school organizations.
More recently, I volunteered to put some gameday programs online for a few high school girls varsity teams so family and fans can have quick and easy access to team rosters and schedules while saving paper. We also designed “senior night” programs for printing and made them available online.
It is always gratifying using both sides of my brain to be both creative and logical while bringing a concept to life.
And it is a genuine pleasure helping people put their offerings out there for the world to consume.
After a critical health diagnosis, I needed to adjust to a new normal, so I decided to make Siegal Works my work.
Opal is my youngest.
She is a student, runner, graphic designer, digital artist, app developer, and producer of all the music files for Siegal Works.
She also designed the new Siegal Works logo and devised our color scheme.
