about
My interest in web development began in 2019 when I had to use Wordpress to manage a website during a summer internship at a non-profit. Turns out, trying to update out-of-date and messy code teaches you a lot about HTML and CSS! After that, I was hooked, and I began teaching myself to code and taking front-end development courses in my free time.
Fast forward to today, I am as comfortable using frameworks as I am hand-coding my builds, but regardless of the method, I focus on combining practicality and elegance.
Here are a few of the technologies I am currently working with:
Languages
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript
Frameworks
- Bootstrap
- React
- Flexbox Grid
Platforms
- Git
- Netlify
- Wordpress
