About
I started my web development carrier back in university with an internship in the campus IT department. I had the priviledge of developing internal apps as well as helping redesigning the campus brand for the web.
After that, I did a short stint at an ad agency in Minot, ND doing web designs and development for local businesses. I even did a bit of logo design work.
I then got an opportunity to move to Japan to teach English for a couple years. After that, I once again stepped into the web development ring and worked for a start-up developing custom order web applications.
As chance would have it, I fell back into teaching English, but the desire to do web development has never left. I taught myself the Laravel framework, Vue.js, Typescript and more.
In my spare time, I like to hang out with my family and play video games.
