About

Software engineer specializing in modern JavaScript frameworks and technologies. --- In 2017, I came across an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript website tutorial. I became fascinated with the ability to turn code into functional, interactive applications. A year later, I still found myself coding for hours every day. I decided I wanted to write software as a career and enrolled in Lambda School. In Sept 2020, I graduated from Lambda School's part-time (18mo) Full Stack Web & Computer Science program. I'm devoted to perfecting my craft and apply creativity and rationality to everything I do. I believe the most challenging goals can be accomplished with enough dedication, insight, and understanding. I'm aiming to contribute scalable, robust, and maintainable code to help build software that empowers individuals and protects their privacy & data. 3 years of total software experience, including: - JavaScript (ES6+) - HTML/CSS - Git/Github - React - Redux - Unit & Integration Testing - Node - Express - PostgreSQL - Python - TypeScript In my free time, I enjoy boxing and writing.
