I am a motivated front-end and back-end developer transitioning from a hands-on background in construction management and carpentry into software development. I relish building responsive, user-friendly web applications using modern JavaScript technologies such as React, Node.js/Express, and SQL databases. My practical experience managing complex projects taught me to plan carefully, debug under pressure, and communicate clearly with teammates and stakeholders. I earned a Software Engineering Immersive at Fullstack Academy and am actively building portfolio projects to demonstrate real-world impact. I value clean, scalable code, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous learning. I am open to entry-level or junior roles in front-end, back-end, or full-stack development, and I am available for hybrid, on-site in Denver, or remote work.
