About me
Hello, I'm Alec! I'm a software developer whose skills include React, Javascript/TypeScript, CSS, and HTML. I enjoy solving complex problems and value a strong, supportive team. I’m excited by the ability to use rules and logic in creative ways and the endless capacity for growth in this field.
In addition to my technical skills, I've learned to work efficiently with others and developed strong communication skills through collaborative projects and experience behind the espresso bar. In my free time you can find me in a park reading a book or at a gallery attending the gig.
