I'm a self-taught full-stack web and software developer; programming since I was 13 years old. I take pride in the finer details and overall quality of my work. I have proficient knowledge in a multitude of frameworks and languages, specializing in React and NodeJS libraries. I am always striving to learn new skills and refine existing ones. For the last two years I have worked as a freelence full-stack developer creating websites and systems for local businessess.

I beleive in speed. Modern applications have to be fast and intuitive in order to keep users interested and wanting to come back. There's no denying the average person is busier than ever and because of that our attention spans are shrinking significantly. If a website is slow or poorly designed the user will get frusturated or disinterested and quickly find something else to invest their time in. This is why it is vital that your UI and UX are fast and modern.

As a developer one thing I always try to keep in mind is never be afraid to reinvent the wheel. In this industry where seemingly everything has a tool or library already created by someone else; it is important not to give in to the urge to "npm install" and instead think of whether you have the time to try to do it yourself. There are multiple reasons why this is great: for one, it keeps your programming and problem solving skills from deteriorating or falling behind; also, it saves your projects from piling up expensive libraries causing slow performance poor SEO; lastly, preventive maintenance from large libraries containing bugs or no longer receiving updates. If you have the time, don't be afraid to challenge yourself.
