About Me
I’m a web developer based in Washington D.C. at Reaktiv Studios where I build user-friendly and accessible websites. I have experience developing products from the ground up into functional websites and applications.
I love to code because there is so much to learn and there is no end. I consider life my classroom and am always looking for something new to learn. I love solving complex problems, as there are always new challenges to solve. For me, it’s all in the challenge. I learn and grow more when I solve a new and difficult problem.
When I’m not coding, you can find me playing tennis, practicing trapeze, reading comics, traveling, or watching cult classic movies.
