About Me

I have always been the creative type, with an interest in art and design. As a teenager I taught myself graphic design and how to build websites. I quickly became fascinated with the endless possibilities of creating for the digital age. To learn even more about computers and software, I studied computer science at the University of Central Florida. Throughout my time in college, I interned as a graphic designer, and a web and mobile developer. Since graduating, I've worked as a full stack software engineer using various languages and technologies.

In my years working full stack development, I have learned that my passion is UI/UX and shaping software to fit the user's needs. I strive to fully understand what the user wants and work to develop a tool that will enhance their job, process, or life. Having been part of the whole process from working with clients to writing code has made me a stronger, more well-rounded developer. I'm always looking for new technologies and new challenges, and can't wait to see what's next to come.
