Full Stack Web Developer

Full Stack Web Developer with experience in JavaScript, Angular, Three.js, Nest.Js, GraphQL, MongoDB, PrimeNg, Node.js, Git/Version Control, Express.js. Familiarity with React.js, Python, C#, SQL.

I've always had an interest in programming and web technologies. My studies include self-learning along with community college courses, which I was able to apply to the companies I have worked for previously to create and maintain graphics and html/css pages. Eventually I realized that my true passion is software development.

I decided to learn more about the newer technologies and lack of back-end knowledge by completing and earning a certificate in an intense Full Stack Coding Boot Camp at Northwestern University School of Professional Studies, acquiring real-world skills in JavaScript, React, Node, Express, MongoDB, MySQL, HTML/CSS, and Python.

A combination of both my work and bootcamp experiences helped me obtain my first full time software developer position as a front-end Angular and Three.js developer in 2021. I believe the skills I've learned during my previous work experiences (such as image optimization using Photoshop, problem solving and critical thinking) helped me grow as a programmer. Since then I was able to expand my knowledge and experience by developing APIs in the back-end to send Real-Time data to the front-end, to visualize real-time 3D using Three.js.
