I am a Full Stack Software Developer recently graduating from App Academy's Web Development program, looking for my first full-time job in the field. I look forward to hearing from you!


Bio

I've always had a knack for puzzle solving and passion for creating things. Growing up, my passions reflected that separately, making music and playing video games. It wasn't until I discovered coding that I realized they could be done together. I love learning new technologies and ways to challenge myself to think creatively. I'm never been one who's shy to ask a question, as I always strive to have a full understanding of what I work on.

I love working with JavaScript, React/Redux, Python, and Flask. I am also experienced in HTML and CSS from past projects. Currently, I am working part time as a Software Engineering Assistant for my alma mater, App Academy, as well as volunteering my time as the Web Developer for The Brian Oneill Jr. Foundation. Outside of software engineering, I love sound design and music production, as well as playing action/puzzle games with my friends.
