SUMMARY »» I am a solutions-driven web development & business professional with over 10 years combined experience in Front-End Web Development, Network Administration, and Customer Service. I consistently exceed expectations through the use of strong organizational and prioritizing skills. Besides a rapidly growing skill-set, I am a very quick learner and pride myself on the ability to work well independently, as well as an effective team member. Utilizing creativity, networking skills, forward thinking, and initiative to analyze and resolve issues. I am very computer & tech savvy, and have bona fide experience with many different types of computer programs and web technologies. I love to learn new things, so if there is something thought-provoking out there that I have not yet studied, I relish the opportunity to do so, and add to my list of accolades.

»» My ultimate goal is to find a demanding and rewarding position where I can utilize my abilities to provide a value not only to myself, but also to my peers. Continual learning and lifelong education is pivotal to me, and I am of the opinion that I can never be "done" learning and transcending my skill-set. I pride myself on being buried inside of programming books, attending lectures & web seminars, and attending various classes & meetups.

»» Some of my skills include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have also ventured towards Back- End Development (LAMP), and Sass, as well. I have worked with both Bootstrap & Foundation 5, as well as been exposed to various JavaScript Frameworks (AngularJS, MeteorJS, Ionic). My ultimate goal, career-wise, is to be an accomplished Full-Stack Web Developer, who can easily be distinguished from the generic bevy. Web Development is just scratching the surface of what I can bring to the table, skill wise. If given the opportunity, there are no doubts that I have the drive, ambition, and aptitude to skillfully showcase my capabilities.
