Hello

As a driven and detail-oriented web developer and IT student, I specialize in designing accessible and visually striking websites that cater to diverse user needs.
With a passion for web development and object-oriented programming, I combine my technical skills with artistic flair to create engaging and inclusive online experiences. Currently based in Florida, I serve as a Web Assistant at the University of Florida Information Technology, where I apply my knowledge to deliver innovative solutions.
My ultimate goal is to establish a distinctive digital style that balances aesthetic appeal with accessibility and user-centered design, pushing the boundaries of web development and innovation.
