Profile

As a graduate of Launch School's comprehensive Core Curriculum, I have developed a robust software engineering foundation that I am now applying to WordPress development.

I am passionate about leveraging this technical background to excel in classic theme development and plugin creation. My ability to quickly and effectively learn new languages and processes, combined with meticulous attention to detail and strong communication skills, positions me to make meaningful contributions to WordPress development projects.
