SKILLS

ABOUT ME

Hello everyone! Thank you for viewing my Portfolio. The layout of the website was created using Bootstrap 5 and some custom CSS. I have been practicing web development for more than a year now and landed my first job in development in January of 2023. I used a range of tools such as Udemy, CodeWars, the Odin Project, CodeCademy, freeCodeCamp and on the job experience.

I started my career working in Information Technology, moving from a Helpdesk role, then to a Systems Administrator, and finally an IT Consultant. I accumulated over 7 years of IT Support skills creating/deploying servers and network architecture all while supporting my clients.

Unfortunately, IT Support was not fulfilling me creatively, so I wanted to transition into something with a more creative outlet. I had a strong aspiration to pursue computer coding, yet I held the misconception that one needed exceptional intelligence to grasp the breadth of knowledge required to master the art of coding. I was deterred from pursuing this early on in my life because of the requirements I had built up in my own head. Then, I started talking to my neighbor about it, and they believed I was well-equipped to learn how to code. They told me, "Anyone can do it!" And now, here I am—a full-fledged web developer! I may be a junior, but I am a web developer nonetheless!

Thank you for visiting my site. If you would like to inquire about me developing your site, please feel free to reach out to me any time!
