I prioritize accessibility for both users and clients, ensuring that every web presence I create is inclusive and user-friendly. With a Full Stack Web Development Certification from the University of Pennsylvania's intensive coding program, I'm trained in both front-end and back-end development. Additionally, I have a Bachelor's degree in Art History from Temple University, giving me a unique perspective on design and aesthetics, allowing me to direct or assist the creative process for a web project. By leveraging agile methodologies, I collaborate closely with clients to deliver optimized and impactful websites.
I'm always open to new & interesting projects - let's work together to bring your vision to life online!
