What I do

Web Design + Development

As a front-end developer I handle the front end of the website. While web design is the way a website looks, front end development is how that design gets implemented on the web. Wether it's a Figma file, PDF, or JPG By integrating markup languages, design, scripts and frameworks, I create the environment for everything that users see, and interact with.

Game Development

Games are my childhood or at least the best parts for me, So of course I couldn't resist getting into Game making. No one ever said itd be easy but when I first saw code I was stumped had now clue what Visual Studio was let alone the gibberish inside of it. Was I Stressed definitely My Curiosity Won and after a couple of rabbit holes I Found FreeCodeCamp and decided to Start there!

Problem Solving

I'm Optimistic just, Look outside of the Box. Step Back look at it from a different Perspective. Ask those Crazy questions. Bump your head till it's sore. I'll get it piece by piece if i have to.
