Personal Statement
I am a front-end web developer leveraging an extensive philosophy and psychology background to build a more intuitive user experience on the web. I’m currently working toward a certificate in full stack development from Michigan State University with newly developed skills in a variety of technologies and languages. I’m known as an innovative problem solver passionate about web development, with a focus on accessibility.
With each project, my aim is to best engage my audience for an impactful user experience. For example, I recently worked on a team of four to develop a single-page COVID-19 informational app that helps individuals in the COVID-19 pandemic access reliable information about national, continental, and state data. I also worked as part of a team to create a full-stack web application which allows users to track various farm activities and plant, animal, and weather information. I’m looking forward to using my skills as part of a fast-paced, quality-driven team to build better experiences on the web. I’m looking to collaborate on website development and other projects to improve my skillset.

COVID Co-Pilot
Our application is designed to provide COVID-19 information to users in an easy-to-access manner. Whereas most informational apps about COVID-19 display an overwhelming amount of information organized in a less-than-ideal fashion, our site is designed with the user in mind, so statistics about national and continental data is easily identifiable, and with a click of the mouse, users can access COVID-19 data specifically about their selected state.
