About Me

Full-Stack Web Developer with a background in hospitality and problem solving. I have earned a certificate in Full Stack Development from the UT Coding Bootcamp. Through the program I attained knowledge of JavaScript, CSS, Mysql, Node.js and React. Through the many jobs I had in the hospitality industry, the highest of which was a GM of a restaurant, I have the skills to think on my feet and solve the daily problems that arise in the everyday work environment. Now changing careers I am developing a passion for coding and problem solving. Now I’m ready to start my career in web development and discover more web development tools to put in my web development toolbox.

Originally from the suburbs of Chicago I moved to Austin in the summer of 2013. I have been working in the restaurant industry since high school and have a degree in culinary. I have held many positions from line cook to general manager but my favorite was bartending on sixth street. Deciding that I needed a career change I’m moving on to computer science.
