About Me

I am a full stack web developer with a passion for coding and a strong desire to continue expanding my knowledge and skills. I consider myself a team player and extremely adaptable. I am currently a teaching assistant in a 24-week course, where I help to lead a class of 35 students in learning MERN stack technologies. I also work as a tutor to help students gain a deeper understand of their code and learn best practices.

I have experience creating full stack web applications using technologies such as React, MongoDB, mySQL, javascript, Node, Express and Bootstrap and can create fast and responsive sites. I am a problem-solver with determination to get the job done in most efficient way possible. I seek out challenges and am looking for a work environment that will not only put my current skills to the test, but allow me to advance them and grow as a developer.
