My skills
After spending the past half a year or more focusing on Javascript, Python, React.js / Redux.js, Flask, HTML5 / CSS3 and applying said languages to several solo and group full stack web projects, I'm ready to head into the next venture of coding and further the depths of my skills. I am looking for the opportunity to expand my overall knowledge in the field while still given ample opportunity to apply and hone my current abilities. I'd love to contribute to any organized and supportive team developing intuitive and well thought projects, especially those related to music, the arts or educational spaces.
