Originally a middle school history teacher, my dream and passion has always been to make a positive impact on people's lives. This dream has led me into the tech space where I can work on projects and products that will impact the world at scale.
Below I've included images of the tech I am currently proficient at, with React being my favorite for a number of reasons. I don't plan on stopping here, as I continue to consistently add new technologies to my toolbelt.
Something that sets me apart from other pure developers is my love for good design. For every project and client work that I have completed, I have used either Adobe XD or Figma to give life to my ideas. While I am able to use UI libraries, I love creating my own layouts from scratch as well.

GameHub is an e-commerce application that lets users create an account (using firestore for authentication), view details about games, purchase games, and more. My favorite and biggest project so far, which required use of Node.js in the backend; see more details about the project within the readme in the Github link.

Although a very common and small application, I added some flair by using an API that accesses the users current location, as well as a background that changes depending on current temperature, and the ability to save locations for later viewing.

The following projects were websites made for local businesses using Adobe XD, Wordpress and the Elementor plugin. During this time, I did not touch code (aside from CSS tweaks at times). The intention here is to show that I have designed and delivered actual products to actual people with actual deadlines.

Felipe Callado was a photographer who would regularly use Facebook to book new clients. He grew to a point where a proper website that showcased his talents was needed. A very minimalistic design, something that is different than I was used to, but one that the client and I enjoyed in the end.
Live Site
High Soccer Arena is an indoor soccer facility. There were a number of goals for this site: provide tournament information for walk-in visitors, information and registration links for parents and their children, and the ability to reserve fields and birthday parties. Additionally, I was tasked with improving the brands SEO rankings through keyword research and site architecture.
