About Me

I have over 10 years of professional experience in web application development and database design.

I've been working with computers in some way or another since I was 14 years old.

I got my feet wet with web design when I learned basic HTML and built my first website in 7th grade. I was introduced to the hardware side of things with my first job at 15 repairing computers at a local computer repair shop.

Ever since then I’ve been hooked on technology and software development. Web Design & Development has always been a hobby of mine, so when I found out, I could make it a career I knew it was where I wanted to be.
