About Me

Based in Hoboken, NJ, I'm a passionate front-end developer with a keen eye for creating beautiful and functional web experiences. My journey in web development started with a curiosity about how websites work, which evolved into a deep appreciation for the art and science of building user interfaces.

Currently working at Catalyst Brands, I focus on creating responsive, accessible, and performant web applications. I'm particularly interested in modern JavaScript frameworks, CSS architecture, and creating smooth user experiences.

Education

I'm a graduate of Marist University with a B.S. in Computer Science, with a concentration in Software Development and minors in Information Systems and Information Technology.

In the spring semester of 2018 I studied abroad at Dublin Business School in Dublin, Ireland.
