About Me

💻 I started coding to help my son make games with Scratch.

After teaching myself HTML / CSS and WordPress, I moved on to iOS apps.

I recently completed a full-stack software engineering bootcamp in September of 2022 focused on JavaScript, React and Ruby on Rails. I now work as a fulltime developer while continuing my education by building projects, going to meetups, and collaborating with other devs in my free time.

I’m currently learning the MERN stack while continuing to focus on JavaScript fundamentals with apps like:

• Rock Solid Skulls (E-commerce store)
• Sure Shot! (Basketball Tracker)
• Color Mask Morph (SVG / Image mask and color picker)
• Life Music (Mood Generated Song Playlists)
• Fade-In-On-Scroll
