Currently I'm a UX/UI designer & front-end developer for a cyber security firm. I work up the UX/UI design and mockup layouts that are used as the guidelines for myself and the other developers.

Before that I was a graphic designer & front-end developer for 8 years for a web development & marketing company. Half of the time I designed and built custom websites using the company's custom-built CMS and front-end framework. The rest of the time I designed logos, visual identities, and extensive digital/print marketing materials.

I started my career at Cleveland State University's Campus Recreation Services as a graphic designer, working my up over 2 years to become the senior graphic designer. I've gained lots of experience in the professional setting, but I'm always interested in broadening my experience and skill set with new opportunities.

To be able to further my development career I decided to enroll in Coding Dojo's bootcamp. I worked my way through Python (MySQL, Flask, Ajax, APIs) and MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). I'm focused on gaining experience using front-end libraries like React and SolidJS.
