SUMMARY

I build for the web. Through my studies at Arden University, I have laid the foundations for things such as professional ethics, the importance of security, working methodologies, cloud fundamentals, and data management. Yet most of what I know comes from curiosity and practice. The process of building, experimenting with what I have built, and then analysing it to figure out how everything works brings me joy. I spend most of my time building with the React ecosystem, although sometimes I like to play around with others to gain a different perspective. This approach is not only applied in building websites, but also in everything else I do.
