I’m 30 years old, I’ve been coding and building websites and apps since 2011. I started coding in college, I went to school at College of Charleston. I graduated 2015 with a Bachelor’s Degreen in Computer Information Systems.
Since then I have been freelancing and working for various digital agencies. The nature of freelance has enriched my experience as a developer and made me a really well rounded full-stack dev. I’ve taken on projects small and large. I’ve been a designer, front-end developer and back-end developer. My communication skills are top-notch, and I always work to my clients' satisfaction.
When I am not working on coding projects I am pursuing my passion for action sports. I am also an avid Wakeboarder, Skateboarder and Snowboarder.

As I was about to turn 30, I decided it was time for me to work full-time as a software developer. I found a growing company in the Industrial Internet of Things space (IIOT) called Brock Solutions. Adapting to the corporate lifestyle and a consistent 9-5 has been interesting. Up until now, I've been working freelance on my own hours. I'm gratefull for everything I've learned thus far, I've been able to find ways I can use my diverse experience in web development to enhance some of our software we offer to our customers. It's also exciting to be working on projects for the large Fortune 500 companies that are our customers!
