Expertise
Skills Repository
I'm a firm believer in keeping my skills up to date. I am constantly learning new things and broadening my knowledge in all areas of IT so I can provide Full Stack Solutions using the latest technology available. Front End Development calls to all my passions; it incorporates creativity and problem solving and I'm allowed to break it to improve the code (in a separate Git branch, of course).
I love applying responsive design principles and watching my web pages shrink into mobile screens and still look amazing. It's oddly satisfying. I think in a way I'm kind of like those web pages; I'm moldable, but I still keep my creative flare intact.
My specialities include learning new skills and programming languages, problem solving, responsive design principles, website optimization and Model View Controller (MVC) methods of organizing code.
What I Do
Services
Front End Development
Over the past years I have gained extensive knowledge on the subject of Web Development. I understand and can implement concepts like Responsive Layouts, Accessibility, Animations, Advanced Styling, etc.
API Development
I have a good understanding of how REST API's work and the supported HTTP Methods. Most of my experience with building API's has been with PHP. I've integrated third party API's like Yummly, Open Weather Map, Pixabay etc in my Applications.
Full Stack Development
I consider myself to be a Front End Web Developer. But, rather than focusing on a single area or domain in an application, I prefer to work on each functional area in the applications tech stack to expand my knowledge.
