My Journey

1. 2020 — 2021

   🍎 Started learning JavaScript

   I began tinkering with JavaScript, building small projects to learn programming basics. What started with simple web scraping and scripting tasks quickly evolved into creating small web apps.

   🎓 Graduated from Hack Reactor

   I completed a 13-week software engineering immersive program with over 1000+ hours of coding, specializing in JavaScript, React, and Node.js. I built several projects, including a full-stack e-commerce site.

   At graduation, I was voted"Most Likely to Become JavaScript Famous", whatever that means...

3. July 2022 — January 2024

   👨‍💻 Employed at Booz Allen Hamilton

   At BAH, I contributed to a project for the Department of Veterans Affairs. I implemented new features, fixed bugs in the frontend, and led an overhaul to improve data fetching and performance.

   I received a recognition award titled "The React Guru" for my work on the project.

4. January 2024 — May 2024

   👨‍💻 Employed at TakeHomes

   I led the frontend development for the startup's website, collaborating closely with the CTO to create new API endpoints, data models, and features. I also redesigned the landing page and converted the existing website to use TailwindCSS.

   Sadly, the startup ran out of funding sooner than expected and was forced to shut down operations after only a few months of me working there.
