I've always been curious about how things function. When I was 8 years old I was shocked while dismantling an electric outlet with a butter knife. At twelve, I dismantled a transitor radio to see how it worked. (This time without a power source.)

My first job was as a data transcriber at the local Social Security office. My desk was next to the server, which was about the size of a walk-in freezer. Ocassionally it malfunctioned and the service tech would come out. I regularly inquired about the cause of the malfunction and his approach in fixing it. This gave me the confidence later to upgrade RAM, replace the motherboard or perform other hardware fixes on my pc.

For awhile, my career path wasn't in technology but, I always kept coming back to it. I maintained a small foothold by helping friends, family, and even a small business with their hardware and software needs.

Eventually I discovered that my true love was in software development. It amazes me that with just a little change in code you get a whole new look or functionality to any project. As a people-person who embraces technology, the fusion of programming, creativity, and accessibility really speak to me.

First I focused my attention on front-end applications and web design. I attained web design certification from the Certified Internet Web Masters Association. Later I took several Computer Science courses at Cuyahoga Community College. Most recently I graduated from the We Can Code It Software Developer Bootcamp.

Now with back-end development in my toolkit, I'm able to create fully functional apps and websites. Some projects showcasing my abilities are shown here. Allow me to demonstrate my skillset on your programming needs.
