About me

Dynamic and adaptable software developer with a solid foundation in front-end technologies, including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind. Leveraging over 4 years of experience as a U.S. Army medic, I bring strong leadership skills, adaptability, and quick thinking to the tech industry. Completing an ACCET-accredited Software Engineering BootCamp, I have accumulated over 1300 hours of intensive coding experience since January 2024, working on more than 10 projects ranging from vanilla JavaScript to advanced React applications. Committed to continuous learning and professional growth, I aim to evolve into a software architect within the next 8-10 years.
