About Me
Software & Web.
I've always been fascinated with development and design. Writing code is really just a way of speaking to computers and applications, and that's about the coolest thing ever in my book! I've put this fascination to work over the past several years, and am now proficient in HTML5 & CSS3, Bootstrap, and the principles of responsive web design. I'm currently attending a Web Development Boot Camp at Eleven Fifty Academy in Indianapolis, where I'm working toward proficiency in JavaScript, Node.js, React, and other modern web development tools.
On the programming side, I recently graduated from a Software Development course, also at Eleven Fifty Academy. During this course I learned in-demand Microsoft .NET technologies like C# and ASP.NET, architectural patterns like MVC and REST, and API integration. This was a fascinating topic for me, and I loved every minute of it!
Service & Education.
In 2016, I joined the US Army Infantry. It was something I'd always wanted to experience, and I wasn't disappointed! From Basic Combat Training through my three-and-a-half years of service, I worked with and learned from some of the best leaders the world has to offer.
Having completed my time in service, I've since attended several other programs available to Disabled Veterans, such as the Cybersecurity Professional Program through Lab Four in Nashville, TN. I've also attended Indianapolis University-Purdue University of Indianapolis & Ivy Tech, furthering my education in Computers and Information Technology.
Experience & Growth.
Even though I've learned a lot within the last year, I won't be backing off anytime soon. I'm constantly looking for ways to upgrade my knowledge and gain new experience. This enthusiasm for learning & growing is a trait on which I've built a reputation with every organization in my past. I know it will serve me well in the future.

Projects
Rock on.
A quick, fun build. I wanted to play around with transitions and animations in CSS. Not responsive in all browsers, but check back because I will update in the future!
Grey's Pizza: The Sauce Is Out There
An exercise in web design without using a framework such as Bootstrap. This project helped me get a better handle on CSS Grid/Flex.
ULTRA Dungeon Battle!
A two player console game that assigns player attributes based on options the player selects, then modifies those attributes with dice-rolls to determine the winner of a gladiator-style duel to the death!
Hulu Imitation Site
Calm down, I'm not saying I built Hulu. But I did build a static page that imitates the Hulu site design. Pretty nifty.
Cat Is Hungry.
A 90s-ish web page that interacts with the CatFacts API. Feed the cat, learn a fact! Keep an eye on the left of the screen for some bonus material, too!
StickerBook
A simple page that harnesses the power of GIPHY to find awesome GIF stickers. Like stickers of cats. And pizza.
