Rutgers University - Full Stack Coding, Web Development
05.2001 -
Playing and making music, reading, creative writing, baseball, and anything on a computer.
I am a passionate and versatile web developer with a keen eye for beautiful design and a commitment to building fast, responsive, and creative web applications. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a web developer. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or opportunities.
My Education:
I have a certificate from Rutgers University in Full Stack Web Development where I learned the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Nodejs). We also learned mySQL, Sequelize, Handlebars, Jquery, PWAs, and more. I am now diving into learning Typescript and Nextjs and have created applications with both. I have learned a lot in a short amount of time, and I am excited to continue learning and growing as a developer. I love self teaching myself coding. I'm always trying to make things work on the computer and I'm always trying to improve my development experience along with user experience.
My Experience:
With a diverse background in music, writing, and high-end restaurant work, I bring a unique set of skills to every project. Music has taught me to be creative, to think outside the box, as well as how to improvise and create with others. Writing has taught me effective communication, project planning and outlining. Restaurant work has taught me to be a team player and to work well under pressure. I am excited to bring these skills to the table as a web developer.
