Consumer-oriented Web Developer with a passion for investigating new technologies to approach programming challenges with multiple perspectives. Over seven years of exceptional customer service in the bar and restaurant industry has helped develop relationships with clients, owners, and co-workers. Recently I have been sharpening my skills in JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and other development technologies, but the study and training is a lifelong pursuit. My enthusiasm for providing unique experiences for user interaction with websites is a driving force. I have a strong attentiveness to details and an eagerness for collaborating to create innovative web applications.
