Who I Am & What I Do

I'm a frontend developer based in Arizona. I attended Coding Dojo bootcamp after a year of self teaching. The bootcamp was a great experience to get my foot in the door of the software industry. I then worked as a full-stack developer consultant where I was put on projects from a State Fair to a Construction Management software and a few projects in between. While in this role I was known as the go-to person when it came to front-end development.

I have a passion for building websites that look good, clean and professional but that also have a great user experience. I started my freelance journey where I have now worked with a big youtuber to build a website for his personal portoflio and a coffee shop that he opened up. I have also worked with a few other businesses to improve their online presence and help them grow their business.

I have a passion for learning and building things so alot of my free time goes towards learning new technologies and building projects. I also like to take that knack for building and build wood working projects.

Check out this article in the Phoenix New Times about me and my journey from Army Ranger to Web Developer.
