About Me

Want to get to know me
a bit better?

I'm a passionate web developer and designer with a focus on creating diverse, inclusive, and accessible digital experiences. I thrive on the variety of projects that come from working with different industries, and I love the challenge of making sure each project not only meets technical standards but also reflects these core values.

With a strong technical background in front-end development, I specialize in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, crafting responsive, user-friendly websites. I’m skilled in PHP, MySQL, and WordPress, with experience in domain name configuration and working with various content management systems (CMS). My design expertise includes Figma, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe XD, allowing me to merge functionality and aesthetics seamlessly.

Accessibility

Fun Fact: My minor is Information Technology! I also attended Valencia College in Orlando, FL for my Associate's Degree in General Studies.

When it comes to solving problems or collaborating with clients, I believe in transparency and resourcefulness. I keep communication clear and open, ensuring everyone is on the same page while finding innovative solutions to any challenges that arise.

One project I’m particularly proud of is a unique concept that blends a hair salon with a video game space—an idea that brings together two different worlds to offer a fun, relaxing experience for clients. I think this project really showcases my creativity and ability to think outside the box.

Outside of work, I’m a big fan of anime and manga, and I’m always looking for ways to bring inspiration from my interests into my projects!
