I am a self-motivated team member who has a knack for
troubleshooting anything; from electronics and appliances to coding
applications and generalized life or social challenges. My rich
background gives me a prismatic viewpoint to see the world in many different aspects. As well, those experiences have given me a powerful toolkit that spans across multiple disciplines. I can build a house from scratch, just as efficiently as I can build a computer or create a custom gourmet dish. I also enjoy analyzing designs, as it grants me the opportunity to use my many hats for scrutinizing a subject from multiple viewpoints.

I have built everything imaginable through pure CSS, from menus to animations and complex transforms, all of which are completely responsive. Through practice with the heirarchy I can pass values through elements with ease.

I can manipulate the DOM easily, using minimalistic functions. I can animate and add logic to the point of creating browser-based games. I am also excited to learn any new libraries that a current project inspires me to learn.

I understand many of the core Node concepts and I can build a web server using Express, routing, EJS or JADE files and a few other various Node tricks. I love the modular form of Node, but by nature it means that I'll always be learning new modules, which gives me tons of room to learn and expand what I can do with the platform.

Though I'm new to the React world, modularization through components is really fun! I love the simplicity of JSX, and the snappy reactivity of components updating their state allows for tons of interesting projects. This is definitely something I'd love to learn more about.

Though Webpack is the only module-loader/task-runner I have experience with, I'm really enjoying the speed that I'm getting during my development process. Once constructed, Webpack scripts let me develop at blazing speeds.

I can utilize AJAX to connect my server-side and client-side scripts, but I only know about 70% of the background processes of the tool, since I haven't been using it since it's XML days.

I have built a handful of overlays and videos. I really enjoy creating things with the software, but I don't often find a reason to create something. Here's an example of something I built for the intro to my wedding video:
