What I do.

Code

At heart, I'm a fullstack web developer. I'm experienced in making websites from the ground up. My latest project MusiqU uses MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js to revolutionize social listening.

Aside from fullstack web development, I also use C++, JavaScript, Python, and Java for more technical projects. I love to make clones of arcade classics for practice. Currently, I'm working on a Tetris clone using Python.

Design

I have an affinity for the arts. I studied Graphic Design and consistently use what I've learned whenever I design the UI/UX for my projects. Adobe XD, Photoshop, and Illustrator are all major components of my design workflow.

I have experience with 3D Animation and rendering as well. I studied 3D Animation using Maya and even submitted my work to Pixar. I enjoy set design and hope to one day work for Pixar. major components of my design workflow.

Teach

Teaching is my passion. I'm a Lead Instructor at CodeAdvantange where I teach elementary and middle school students computer science fundamentals children grades 1-8 computer science. I've created lesson plans for 5 different curricula ranging from Minecraft Modding using Java to Game Design with Python. In the future, I plan on getting my Master's in Education so I can teach computer science or music.

My skills.

Fullstack Web Development

Mastery with MERN Stack

I make websites for imaginary companies that I come up with. I use this as a launchpad to use some of the new frameworks and libraries I've been teaching myself. I use React for my frontend and Express.js for my backend, custom-built, REST API.

Programming

Experience in C++, JavaScript, Python, and Java

As of right now, I mostly program in C++. I've used JavaScript for four years and have achieved mastery. I've studied data structures and algorithms both in JavaScript and C++. I enjoy making projects with the languages I know so I can keep my skills sharp. The next language I plan to learn is SQL so I can work with relational databases.

Art and Design

Adobe Certified Associate in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After FX.

Art is one of my three passions. I love video editing and retouching for it's "magical" aspect. Turning raw, unprocessed footage into a cinematic masterpiece is fascinating and enjoyable.

App Development

Familiar with React Native, Android Studio, Xcode

I only have one app in the works right now (check it out here), but I want to make more! There's millions of little everyday problems that can be solved with some quick code and I aim to be the person that works towards a solution.

Portfolio and projects.

Trying to update a site can be painstakingly brutal sometimes. I solved this issue by using Google's NoSQL database, Firebase, to store site content which allows for live updates through a seamless, intuitive, and concise UX.

Chime is cross-platform mobile app developed with React Native that creatively uses location-based alarms to wake up the user at their desired stop on public transportation.
