    I recently graduated the Hack Reactor 12 week immersive bootcamp where I collaboratively created several fun and challenging projects in addition to learning the principles of modern software engineering. I've been working hard on some solo projects post-graduation, such as a few npm libraries, four separate Chrome Extensions, and a live API! Today I'm working on something in the ed-tech sector, but tomorrow could bring something new!

    I love to learn and enjoy challenging myself to use new technologies, APIs and SDKs. Interesed in working together? Contact me here.
