Based in Washington DC, and having a background in software engineering, I specialize in building mobile and web applications, as well as blazing fast websites by using the latest technologies to prioritize site/app performance ultimately resulting in faster page load speeds and better SEO all delivered with beautifully and functionally designed user interfaces.

Proficient in the MERN stack, my favorite technologies to use when building digital solutions are HTML, CSS, Javascript, React (along with various React frameworks such as NEXT.js and Gatsby.js), React Native, Node, and Mongo DB.

I truly love the design process and conceptualizing from the imagination a beautiful digital experience. My "go-to" design tools are Figma, Photoshop, and Adobe XD for building mockups, wireframes, and customizing the visual assets necessary for an aesthetically and visually pleasing user experience.

Technology is always changing and I’m always learning in order to adapt to the changing market. As such, other notable technologies that I have had experience with in the past include, PostgreSQL for building relational databases, Netlify for front-end deployments. Heroku for back-end deployments, and Shopify’s Liquid templating language for building immersive Shopify storefronts and applications.
