I've been in web development for a while, but over the past 8 years, I've been immersed in frameworks like React, Express, and Next.js. My journey began with good old fashioned HTML, CSS and Javascript, then PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails and jQuery, where I honed my skills and set the stage for an exciting evolution in the digital landscape where we are today."

From crafting sleek user interfaces with React to building robust backend systems using Node.js, Express or Next.js, I've enjoyed the ever-changing challenges of web development. My transition from Ruby on Rails and jQuery to these modern tools has been an exciting ride, and I'm always eager to learn and adapt as technology evolves.",
                "As of late (Aug 2023), I've been teaching myself Flutter and Dart, and I'm excited to see where this new journey takes me. I think I'll add a blog to this site soon to document some of that.",
