Websites

I have experience making responsive web sites for clients from scratch and with external libraries like Bootstrap. I enjoy bringing ideas to life and making modern, functional websites.

Web Apps

I enjoy writing modular, maintainable code to create interactive web apps. Although my focus is usually on the frontend, I've recently begun to develop fullstack applications using the PERN stack.

Design & Accessibility

I love creating clear, effective and attractive UIs that follow accessibility standards. I also have experience altering existing sites to be WCAG compliant.

About me

Developer based in Columbus, OH

I am a motivated front-end developer with experience designing and implementing responsive websites and apps. I enjoy making things that are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and useful. I'm a perpetual learner. Along the way, I have earned both a B.A and M.S. in Geology, I've taught myself web development, and even taught both science and coding to 4-6th grade students for 3 years. My broad background has prepared me well to learn and think logically. However, I also thrive when prompted to produce original, inventive ideas. I find coding to be the perfect balance of logic and creativity. I'm constantly working to improve and broaden my skillset with relevant technologies. Currently, I'm using and learning TypeScript,Node, Express, PostgreSQL, React Hook Form, Chart.js, and Auth0.
