About Me

Hey there! I'm a passionate Software Engineer based out of Virginia that specializes in front-end development. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2022, which is where I discovered my love for website development. Since then, I have created websites for personal businesses, individuals, and contributed to a multitude of websites for Johnson & Johnson. I have a strong focus on the user experience, accessibility, animations, and micro interactions. I'm excited to explore new opportunities to challenge me and further enhance my skills!
