Summary

I'm experienced in both frontend and full-stack development with a variety of technologies, but I prefer working on the frontend with JavaScript. In addition to working at Genesys, a large technology company, I do freelance work for a few clients in my free time.

I started learning to build websites in middle school in the late 90s and early 00s. I still remember my most popular website, a website with nothing but a large number of gifs I had collected from across the internet. I was getting a whopping 500 visitors a month, which seemed amazing at the time. I taught myself PHP and MySQL in high school when I was limited in what classes I was able to take and then proceeded on to get a Computer Science degree in college. I have been working professionally in web application development ever since.
