I am a front-end developer from the Columbus Ohio area. I made the decision to learn to code to better my future and have learned through hard work and dedication. I am also well versed with best design principles and am extremely interested in best UI/UX principles. Over the last year I have worked at a medium sized corporation where I have had the opportunity to really hone my front-end and problem-solving skills. It has also allowed me to work a little with the back-end side of the site. Learning about new technology and new ways to do things has been an amazing journey for me in my career as a web developer so far and I hope to continue to do so at new levels.
