I specialize in frontend development - with an emphasis on React - and am driven by a continuous learning ethos. Having spent over a decade honing a pretty laudable skill set has allowed me to produce high-quality deliverables for organizations small and large, as well as enterprise level. I am always looking for new challenges - both professionally and personally - and ever since I built my very first web page dedicated to Michael Jordan back in the mid 90s, my fervor and enthusiasm for technology and engineering has continued to grow exponentially.
