About

Here is my background

Hi there! I am Andrew! I've been coding for two years now. As a Full-Stack developer I've worked on sites large and small to help church organizations, local governments, small non-profits, and major health care companies achieve their goals. I have worked in PHP/Laravel, JavaScript/Angular, and React Native but I am specializing in JavaScript/React and Python/Django to help me achieve my personal growth goals. Most recently, I have been spending most of my time building projects (like this!) using Next.js 13 and utilizing the Sanity CMS. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow every day on this software journey!
