I am a full-stack developer driven by a passion for learning, science, and technology. Originally studying chemistry and nutrition, I found my true calling when introduced to coding. I work primarily with VB and C# with experience in .NET and .NET Core, React, MS SQL, and MSSQL. For personal projects I am currently using React with Typescript as well as Python/Django, and MongoDB. Outside of coding my life mostly consists of family, food, video games, Chicago sports, and my dog. Thanks for visiting my page and take care!
