My Approach
I’m a graphic designer and web developer with experience building and shipping websites for businesses nationwide.
I’m actively deepening my technical foundation through hands-on work with development workflows, version control, and command-line tools, with the goal of understanding and improving how systems function end to end.
I’m looking for a role where I can take responsibility for operational workflows and continue progressing toward more technically rigorous systems work.
