About Me
I'm a Front-End Developer, UX Engineer and UX Designer with over 12 years of professional experience. I specialize in designing and building responsive websites, creating prototypes and implementing web analytics. I'm also interested in AI Art and have included some recent pieces in this portfolio.
Having a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design and years of shadowing some of the best UX Designers has taught me to design and code from a place of empathy for both clients and users. I'm also an avid learner and enjoy expanding my skillset with new knowledge. Last but not least, I'm detail-oriented and a problem solver. My motto is "if there's a way, I'll find it".
When I'm not working, you'll find me either spending time with my son Conrad, learning about or discussing the benefits of good nutrition, singing, listening to music and/or discussing various topics such as spirituality, relationships and everything in between.
