Hi! I'm Alexander Ragland, a passionate computer science student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I've spent a significant amount of time tutoring peers in full-stack web development, where I specialize in React and TypeScript, helping others improve their coding skills. I enjoy working on projects ranging from real-time social media platforms to complex e-commerce solutions, always aiming to build responsive, efficient, and secure web applications. I'm comfortable collaborating in agile teams and using modern technologies like Tailwind CSS, GraphQL, Docker, and various backend frameworks. When I'm not coding or tutoring, I work at Schooners Restaurant, mastering teamwork and adaptability in fast-paced environments. I’m eager to continue growing my skills and contributing to innovative software projects.
