Personal Profile

Recent high school graduate who discovered a profound interest in programming after completing an immersive web development bootcamp. Enjoys a good challenge and loves learning new material. Hard worker, quick learner and quirky personality. Currently most comfortable with front end technologies like ReactJS and Bootstrap. Continues to learn and practice to reinforce fundamentals and acquire new skills. Searching for a junior or intern level full-stack or front-end position. Fun fact about me: My love for snowboarding has grown even more ever since I dislocated my elbow last winter.
