About Me...

As a determined aspiring developer with a passion for technology, I am driven by learning new skills. Over the past two years I have worked hard to complete the Web and Mobile App Development program at North Island college, graduating with a 4.26 GPA.

While I consider myself a developer first, I value the importance of designing an appealing product. I love problem-solving and have built strong skills in development languages including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, Java and Swift. Additionally, I am well educated in Version Control Systems, UI/UX Design, Graphic Design, Project Management, Social Media Monitoring and Content Management Systems. I am very adaptable, and always try to maintain a high level of quality in my work by picking up new skills as needed.

With my sights set on the future, I'm committed to translating my customer service skills and dedicated work ethic toward a new career as a Web Developer. I look forward to collaborating with like minded designers and developers in the future and working to make valuable contributions to the industry.
