I am a Full-Stack developer based in California working @ Hornblower Group. I love building on, improving, and creating new projects for people to visit!
/about-me
I currently work at Hornblower Group, working on their ticketing platform with over 70 million tickets sold.
One of my favorite things to do is make side projects! Please take a look at some of my favorites by going to the projects tab in the navbar. My goal in my professional career is to build something from the ground up that gets at least a million users!
In my freetime when I am not coding, I am someone who loves watching movies and tv shows but I have recently found a love for playing video games.
Below are some of the technologies that I am able to use:
- Python
- Java
- JavaScript
- React.js
- Node.js
- MySQL
- Redux Saga
- DynamoDB
- Lambda
- GraphQL
