About Me

Hi, I'm a Frontend Developer based in Goose Creek, SC, passionate about using technology to create impactful solutions. Over the past few years, I've been honing my skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript, with a focus on building websites using React.

One of my key projects is an events platform site that I developed, featuring Stripe integration for transactions, user authentication via Clerk, and MongoDB as the database. I used Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS to create a modern interface and user experience.

My long-term goal is to continually expand my knowledge and eventually become a senior-level developer. As a self-taught programmer, I'm driven by self-motivation and a love for learning new things. Currently, I'm also learning Japanese.

I'm seeking opportunities as a Frontend Developer and would love to bring my skills, dedication, and enthusiasm to your team. If you're looking for a passionate and ambitious developer, please feel free to reach out!
