I completed a full-stack software engineering bootcamp in September of 2022 focused on JavaScript, React, and Ruby on Rails. I was hired as a Full-stack developer in October 2022 and currently work in the same role while adding UI/UX Designer to my list of skills in 2024. I am continuing my pursuit of Software Engineering by building projects, practicing DS&As, going to meetups, and collaborating with other devs in my free time.
I spent 2023 learning the MERN stack while continuing to focus on JavaScript fundamentals with apps like:
- Rock Solid Skulls (E-commerce store)
- Sure Shot! (Basketball Tracker)
- Color Mask Morph (SVG / Image mask and color picker)
- Life Music (Mood Generated Song Playlists)
- Fade-In-On-Scroll
