About Me
Hello, I'm a developer from Washington state with a passion for creating beautiful, functional web experiences. My journey into web development hasn't been linear, but that's what makes it interesting.
My Development Story
Programming has been a constant interest throughout my life. I started with C++ and worked into C# and desktop application development. For years, I built Windows applications. I always struggled with making them look the way I envisioned, though. Styling desktop apps felt like fighting against the tools rather than working with them.
When I got into web development and discovered CSS, everything changed. What seemed weird and backwards at first suddenly became intuitive. For the first time, I could make interfaces look exactly how I imagined them. That breakthrough moment rekindled my love for JavaScript and opened up a whole new world of possibilities in web development.
What I'm Working On
Currently, I'm focusing on front-end development, and diving deep into modern JavaScript frameworks and advanced CSS techniques. I love the creative problem-solving that comes with UI design and the satisfaction of turning mockups into interactive experiences.
But I'm not stopping there. I'm actively learning backend development to become a full-stack developer, exploring server-side technologies and database management. DevOps and deployment strategies are next on my learning roadmap. I want to understand the complete journey from code to production.
What Drives Me
I'm fascinated by the moment when technology becomes invisible – when users can accomplish their goals effortlessly because the interface just makes sense. Whether it's a smooth animation, an intuitive navigation flow, or a perfectly responsive layout, I'm always chasing those moments of seamless user experience.
I believe the best solutions come from understanding both the technical constraints and the human needs behind every project. Every line of code is an opportunity to make someone's day a little easier or a little more delightful.
Let's Connect
I'm always excited to talk about web development, 3D art, upcoming game projects, or that perfect CSS trick that finally made everything click. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or just chat about the craft!
