Full Stack Developer | QA & DevOps | API Integrations | Technical Writer
Amarillo, Texas
I'm a full stack developer passionate about building scalable web applications and helping businesses modernize their tech stacks. If it's got docs, I can learn it! I specialize in React, Node.js, Python, WordPress development, and API integrations.
Beyond code, I'm a photographer, writer, and digital creator. I believe technology has the power to bring about significant positive change, and I want to leverage everything I can to make the world better for all of us.
