About Me.

Hello! I'm a software developer focusing on full-stack web development, I currently work for a data-driven marketing company as a front-end developer (although I work with the entire stack). I'm continuously sharpening my entire skill set, which includes learning about web security. I currently live in a small town near Scranton, PA. Palm Coast, FL.

Aside from programming and creating the web, I also like to play chess, read interesting books, and train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as Muay Thai (Sawatdee Krab!). I also study languages and can understand Italian, some Russian, and some Thai.

Education.

Web Development

freeCodeCamp / 2010 - 2014

HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, NodeJS, ReactJS, jQuery, OOP and Functional Programming, JSON APIs and Ajax

Computer Science & Software Engineering

Lambda School / 2017 - 2018

I'm mostly a "self-taught" developer, meaning I've learned from a TON of online courses (shout out to MIT OCW), documentation, as well as books. Although freeCodeCamp and Lambda School* were vital in helping me become a professional developer.







* - Lambda School now goes by the name "Bloomtech Institute of Technology".
