Who Am I?

I am an adventurer. It can take me to the far east for a bowl of the best Ramen on earth or pulling an all nighter of Neil deGrassy Tyson. It's that spark of curiosity that drives my passion for learning. Nothing has captivated me more than the journey of being a web developer. I want to bring that energy and drive to any project and add to its success in any way possible.

My journey here has been both nerve wrecking and exciting at the same time. It's that challenge that hooks me into every project I take on. I studied both Full-Stack Web Development and UI/UX Design at Bitmaker-General Assembly Toronto. Having knowledge of both front and back end development, gives me a different perspective of the project from both sides. It is this knowledge that drives me to develop a keen eye for design while still thinking critical of the project implementation.

I try to keep it simple. My First thought is; what can I drop? Then, how do I present it to the user? Can anything hide? Finally, what can I displace? It is these reflections that guide my decisions to a simple and thoughtful design. With the focus on the main content, it helps deliver the intended message effectively.

I am always open to consider other opinions and design ideas. This flexibility allows me to collaborate effectively. It is important to work together in order to yield a positive outcome that satisfies all stakeholders.
