What I do

Frontend Specialty

React provides a frontend web architecture that is easy to build and maintain, while TypeScript extends JavaScript, enabling developers to avoid errors and make rewrites with ease. I'm excited to continue learning and working with this powerful tech stack. The

API Integration

Comprehending the JSON format obtained from any source is a valuable skill. From working with dictionaries and objects to utilizing tools like Marshmallow and Insomnia, my experience in handling API responses and managing errors is a significant asset that I take pride in.

Backend Experience

I possess a strong understanding of backend operations, gained through building Flask applications with Python and SQLAlchemy. This knowledge allows me to collaborate effectively with backend engineers.

My Work

Who I am

Web Developer based in NYC

I have chosen to be a web developer because I am passionate about bringing my creative ideas to life. My journey began at the age of 15 when I started building static websites on Geocities and experimenting with CSS on Multiply. I was captivated by the beauty of websites and often envisioned how I could recreate them in my unique style.

After eight years working as a computer systems analyst in Silicon Valley and dedicating a year to learning data science, AWS architecture, and mobile development, I made the decision to finally follow my passion for frontend web development. Recently, I completed an intensive 10-week Full-Stack Engineering bootcamp with Coding Temple, which significantly enhanced my frontend skills, including React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and modern web stacks like Flask + Python, SQLAlchemy + Postgres, and RESTful APIs. I am enthusiastic about taking on more projects and embarking on my career as a frontend developer!
