Short Version
I'm a software developer with experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, PHP, MySQL, WordPress, and more. I started in 2017 as a WordPress developer and quickly became skilled in customizing themes, solving tricky CSS and JavaScript issues, and building full-stack solutions.
I later transitioned into React development, contributing to apps at JustUtahCoders, MX Technologies, and LifeOmic, where I also supported customer service tools and improved UI/UX. I've worked in data annotation for AI, earned a Security+ certification, and now teach coding and robotics to kids while continuing to consult on web projects and troubleshoot WordPress with code.
Long Version
My dad introduced me to the basics of programming and web development. From there, I became a self-taught developer, expanding my skills through Google searches, Stack Overflow discussions, FreeCodeCamp coursework, W3Schools resources, and guidance from mentors in Utah. I earned a CompTIA Security+ certification through 801 Labs and received software quality assurance training (SQA) from Portnov Computer School.
I launched my career in 2017 as a WordPress Developer, customizing websites and modifying plugins with code. During this time, I gained expert-level proficiency in CSS and JavaScript, making me highly effective at troubleshooting web development issues. I also configured servers and provided PHP/MySQL solutions, becoming a well-seasoned full-stack developer.
In 2019, I transitioned into React development as an intern at JustUtahCoders, where I helped automate form-filling for record expungement. The following year, I further honed my React skills at MX Technologies.
In 2021, I worked at LifeOmic, splitting my time between Zendesk support and developing a React app to streamline customer service. I also contributed to UI/UX improvements based on customer feedback. Later that year, I explored data annotation at Moveworks, where I enjoyed collaborating on language semantics for machine learning models.
In 2024, I began teaching programming at iCode, where I have a blast helping students explore drag-and-drop programming, .NET/C# app development, and robotics!
Currently, I continue to teach coding to kids, consult on web development, and resolve WordPress issues with code.
