Front End Developer & Web Designer
About

I am a front end developer and web designer based in Dallas, Texas. I take pride in code that is easy to read, well documented, and efficient behind the scenes. I always strive to have modern, pixel perfect, and user-friendly UX and UI designs.

Most of my coding skills and knowledge are self-taught through online training courses, I change providers as needed for new challenges and always strive to learn new tech, workflows, and best practices.

I love anything related to arts or pixels. My background before learning to code was in animation and graphic design.
