About

Front-end development is both a career and a hobby. It is an opportunity to create something innovative. The endless possibilities fill me with the motivation and determination to continue growing as a developer.

Outside of web development, I am an avid Indiana Hoosiers basketball fan. I stay active through running, hiking and playing basketball. Additionally, I am also very interested in fingerstyle/progressive guitar.

I am currently looking for new opportunities to grow professionally and personally. I enjoy contributing to projects that are clear in their goals and enhance the lives of its users.
