About Me

Here you can get to know me a little more and check out my skills :)

Get to know me

I like building and developing the front-end of websites and web applications. I enjoy the process of taking an idea and bringing it to life. I like the challenge of creating responsive designs and layouts.

I have experience building web applications and static websites within a small team in an agile manner. I love the process of whiteboarding ideas, presenting them, and coming up with something better through open discussion.

I am excited for job opportunities that allow me to use my skillset, are conducive to my continued professional development, and ultimately allow me to learn and grow.
