about
I have over four years of experience working on the web primarily with the framework: React. I am an expert in mobile first development, creating dynamic content driven by data, and adapting to new technologies.
My specific skills are, but not limited to, React, Typescript, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Jest, and NodeJS.
Over the last few years, I've pushed myself to learn new patterns of frontend architecture as well as new standards to always optimize and improve load times and customer satisfaction. As a developer, I'm always striving to communicate and take ownership of my work all while communicating and working with UI/UX designers, backend developers, and product owners.
For fun, I'm an avid golfer, passionate Yugioh player, and a gamer.
