Before becoming a software engineer in 2018, Rocky worked in social work and education for almost 10 years, mostly working with young people and their families to address micro and macro barriers to education. They are thrilled to be joining Exygy in a role that allows them to apply their coding skills to work they are passionate about. Rocky holds a Bachelors degree from Oberlin College and a Masters in Social Work from Hunter College with a concentration in Community Organizing. They learned to code at the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy in New York.

Outside of work, Rocky loves collecting way to many books to read, tending their indoor and outdoor gardens, and seeing as many Broadway shows as they can afford. They live in Brooklyn, NY with their partner, dog, cat, and many plants.
