About Me

With a passion for web development that started at the age of nine, I have honed my craft despite facing challenges due to my genetic muscular condition. When I felt like I had no options in my future, coding stood out to me. It appealed to the part of me that likes to solve logical problems, such as math, while also having room for the creative part of my mind. It was something I could do despite my limitations.

Over the past nine years, I have dedicated myself to learning everything I could about web development and coding in general. One of my top priorities in web development is accessibility. I strive to contribute towards building an internet that is inclusive and accessible to everyone.

I built the front and back end for haveasafedrive.com, a business focused on defensive driving courses, in collaboration with my business partner at the time. Additionally, I have built pennlegallpp.com, a website for a talented paralegal. Also in the works: A custom built blog with unique features, and a flexible and powerful productivity tool for managing pomodoros and your daily agenda.
