What I've Built
Front-end developer in Houston, TX
I'm a front-end web developer who creates responsive websites using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript from design mock-ups. I'm a huge advocate of documentation and standardization for team efficiency and for better code practices. I care about team morale and keeping teammates motivated and learning.
I started out my career creating databases and user interfaces for supply chain management, then went into software consulting for oil and gas where I managed the entire process of requirements gathering, software deployment, and issue resolution for large clients. Then I finally decided to pursue my creative desires professionally and switched to web development.
I graduated The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's Degree with double-major in Business Honors Program & Management Information Systems, and I continue to learn web development in my spare time. You will find me as a fellow attendee at conferences such as Frontend Masters and Smashing Conf. In my free time I enjoy playing video games, traveling and photography.
