What I do

Design + Development

I design and build custom websites during off hours. I work full-time as a career center specialist for the Alabama Department of Labor. When I'm not at work or spending time with my family, I am learning and building. I can build websites with pictures, descriptions, contact information and other content. I am a self-taught developer, and most of my certifications are through freeCodeCamp.

Public Service

I assist guests of an Alabama Career Center in filing their unemployment claims. I also help with common issues which arise in the course of processing the claim, such as submitting paperwork, gathering additional information, or advising the claimant when they have major concerns.

My Work

Who I am

Designer & developer out of Alabama

I am a family man with three children. My wife is a major source of motivation for me. I am a Navy veteran with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I have a burning desire to learn new skills and create with the skills I have learned. I have an excellent understanding of the English language, and I can communicate with every socioeconomic group (I can roll with anybody).

I started studying HTML/CSS/JavaScript in August of 2022. In February of this year, I earned the JavaScript Algorithms Certification from freecodecamp.org. After more than 18 months of learning, reading, practicing, youtubing, I am finally ready to start creating and learning new programming skills, constantly extending my potential, and providing real solutions to the market.

I used my work history as content in a freecodecamp project I completed. It's an extended resume in technical documentation format. Feel free to check it out.
