What I do

Design and Development

I have experience working with both front-end and backend applications. This experience inlcudes building the front-end of applications through appealing visual design, developing and managing well-functioning databases and applications, and writing effective APIs.

Web Design

As a full stack developer, I have knowledge of multiple front-end languages and libraries (e.g. HTML/ CSS, JavaScript, XML,) as well as knowledge of multiple back-end languages (e.g. Java, Python) and JavaScript frameworks (e.g. Angular, React, Node.js) which can be used to create webpages.

Open Source Work

I am relatively new to open source work. That being said, if you are looking for a competent developer or just an extra set of hands in general on a project feel free to reccommend it to me by sending me an email below! I am always looking to take on new projects that interest me and am an avid learner of new languages or skills.

So you may be wondering, "who is this guy?".

When not working I enjoy spending time with family and friends and exploring a plethora of National and State parks. I recently completed many of Utah's National Parks in March 2022.
