Web developer and digital media specialist focused on building hands-on, user-first applications.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a web developer with a strong growth mindset—when I struggled with dry, lecture-heavy learning, I took ownership of my development through online courses and certifications. That approach reignited my interest in web development and made me an advocate for continuous, practical learning.
I’ve built web applications using a full-stack toolkit that includes React, CSS/HTML, JavaScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Recently, I created a note-taking React web application where users can create, view, and delete notes, and I’m excited to keep applying these skills to innovative products.
Alongside development, I’ve spent years creating and promoting digital content as a podcast host and digital media specialist, including founding and hosting “Paranormal Express” and launching promotional campaigns that increased listeners. I bring communication, content strategy, and account management experience, and I’m eager to work in a team where I can learn from experienced developers.
