About Me

A self-taught developer with a passion for the web.

After writing my first program in Objective-C back in high school, I rediscovered programming in 2019 and fell in love with web development. Be sure to check out my blog for a full breakdown of my coding journey!

Currently, I work with some of the most in demand web technologies including React & NextJS, NodeJS, Express, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS, among others.

In my free time I've been diving into system design and am working on a few AWS certifications. I also occasionally upload programming videos to my YouTube channel!
