Hello I’m a hobbyist developer trying to make the transition into a full time career. My main area of competency is front-end design and implementation. The design software I am most familiar with are Gimp and Figma. For implementation I am mostly familiar with vanilla HTML, CSS, and javaScript. I have limited experience with building and implementing back-end solutions using Node.js/Express.js and Mongo.db/mongoose. I also have some experience using React and enjoy the design principle of building with a focus on modular, self-contained components. I also have a grasp on React’s state management and lifecycle. Although my technical scope and abilities may be limited, I have strong interpersonal skills and possess an understanding that clear concise communication can help with team cohesion, creating the desire to work as a group to accomplish our goals. I am also comfortable being in a position where I have to learn and grow to accomplish my task but, at the same time I will not let pride hinder me if I do not understand something and need to reach out to someone more knowledgeable to gain a better understanding of the task or tools I am using to complete the task at hand. Some of the things I enjoy in my freetime is playing music, cooking, and performing and watching stand-up comedy.
