I'm a senior web developer with over 10 years of experience, focused on PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and recently building up modern frontend skills with React. Most of my work has been in finance and internal business systems, where I’ve helped redesign critical tools and collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to deliver real-world solutions. I enjoy picking up new technologies and turning complex requests into clean, efficient results.
I've been passionate about web development since the 10th grade, when I began experimenting with basic HTML websites. As I explored further, I found the basics too limiting and quickly moved on to learning JavaScript, enjoying the challenge of building more dynamic and interactive experiences.
During college, I worked as a programmer for CSPAN and Purdue University. I originally majored in Actuarial Science, but it became clear that my interests were rooted in technology, so I changed my major to pursue a career in IT.
Over the years, I've contributed to a range of web applications in the finance and business sectors. I take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and enjoy working on projects that solve meaningful problems for users and teams alike.
Outside of work, I continue to learn and grow by exploring tools and frameworks like React, Next.js, and Python. I also enjoy working creatively with Blender and DaVinci Resolve. Staying curious and adaptable is what keeps me excited about technology and the future of this field.
