A Little About Me

My first foray into web development was using Wetpaint to create a website about my favorite animal (circa 2008). A couple of years later, I took a course in high school on web design, in which I learned the basics of HTML and styling. Fast forward a few years and my interest in web development reignited.

I’ve learned a lot from courses like Beginning Modern Javascript, The Web Developer Bootcamp, and Modern React with Redux. I’ve solidified my understanding of different technologies and concepts through numerous projects.

I enjoy making things that look good, work well, and are easy to use. What I love most about web development is that there is always something new to learn.

My Skills

From my studies, I have gained a solid foundation of web development concepts and best practices. I dedicate much of my free time to exploring and applying these concepts through building applications.

My Recent Projects

I'm constantly working on projects and thinking up new things to build. Check out some of my most recent applications.

A single-page react web application that helps writers kick-start the writing process. The app is designed to help writers quickly begin the writing warm-up process and save their work. A responsive UI allows users to go from prompt selection to writing instantly, on the computer or mobile.
