What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow my skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I'm a passionate web developer with a solid background in JavaScript and modern web technologies. My journey began with a Master of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I honed my analytical skills and developed a keen interest in technology. I have since dedicated myself to mastering web development through various courses and hands-on projects.

One of my notable projects is the Audiophile E-commerce Website, where I implemented a responsive full-stack audio storefront using React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. This project allowed me to integrate complex functionalities like persistent cart management and accessibility features, ensuring a seamless user experience. Additionally, I have experience in game development, having created an interactive Connect Four game that showcases my ability to manage game state and implement adaptive AI.
