I'm a web developer with a focus on the MERN stack but still exploring other technologies and frameworks that catch my interest! I am always looking for new opportunities to grow. If you're looking for a developer to add to your team, I'd love to hear from you!

About Me

I have had a passion for computers and video games for as long as I can remember. From breaking down and modding old gaming consoles with friends to upgrading and modifying the family PC to more efficiently run Everquest on dial-up, I have always been curious and eager to learn.

Rather than pursue those interests earlier in life, I spent nearly a decade in the service industry as a server, a bartender, a manager, and a trainer. It taught me a great deal about customer service and how to work with a team. From there, I sought a more lucrative career as a table games dealer. For the next five years I worked in casinos where I gained a great deal of experience in the casino industry and dealing with difficult people. I also learned a great deal about myself and that I wanted more out of life.

I chose to pursue a career in web development because I wanted to be able to work with a team motivated, intelligent people who were passionate about what they do. I have always been a creative person with a drive to build things and solve problems.
