About Thalia Stafford | Software Developer & CS Student

My Story

Where Code Meets Creativity

Hi! I'm Thalia Stafford, a computer science major with a graphic design minor at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). I believe the best digital experiences live at the intersection of rigorous engineering and thoughtful design.

I've spent nearly four years as a software development intern at Hitchiner Manufacturing, where I've worked across ERP systems, built SQL-driven tools, and developed .NET/C# applications that modernize manufacturing workflows. I'm passionate about creating systems and experiences that are intuitive, user-friendly, and solve real problems for real people.

Beyond coursework and internships, I founded the Crafty Creations Club at SNHU, served as Vice President of two campus organizations, and balance technical work with creative pursuits — from building wellness apps to hand-crafting jewelry. I bring the same energy to everything: curiosity, care, and a drive to make things that genuinely help people.
