Have knowledge of front end development, including: maintenance, code quality, security, scalability and longevity.

I seek deeper understanding for tasks I am given, and look to make them more efficient and effective. I am very teachable and consider myself to be a quick learner. I am always seeking to gain as much knowledge as I can to better myself as an individual and as a developer.

Personal Life

I am a hard working driven individual that will do what it takes to reach my goals. I love and live for my family. I am a sports enthusiast. I love watching, playing, and talking about all different sports and love how competition motivates and drives people to reach high levels of synergy. I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring nature. I believe in God and allow his influence to help guide my life and help keep my values high. I enjoy innovation, hence my chosen career in technology, and am always looking to increase productivity by leveraging technology. I also enjoy learning. I am constantly trying to understand the nuts and bolts of different things, and the basics of various coding languages to keep myself well rounded. I strive for success in all that I do, I measure success based on how impactful I am. If I can make a positive and lasting impact, I consider that a success.
