Trucking to Tech

ABOUT ME

About Me.

As a Frontend Developer specializing in React, Redux, and Node, I blend a strong operational background with technical expertise in the tech industry. With a year of hands-on experience in coding, my interests have expanded to include TypeScript, Vue, Jest, and WordPress, broadening my toolkit for developing comprehensive digital solutions for small businesses.

 

Transitioning from a decade-long career in transportation, where I evolved from a truck driver to an operations manager, I’ve established a solid foundation in project management and problem-solving. This journey inspired my passion for software development, which was further nurtured at Nucamp Coding Bootcamp. There, I acquired skills across a wide spectrum of technologies, including CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, and cloud services.

 

This unique path from logistics to web development showcases my adaptability and commitment to mastering new challenges. In every position, I’ve utilized my leadership and analytical skills to enhance operational efficiencies and lead teams through complex projects.

 

Now as a freelancer, I leverage my diverse skills to enhance online presences and streamline processes, delivering robust and user-friendly websites and applications. Driven by curiosity and a profound satisfaction in solving puzzles—be it in logistics or code—I embody the innovation, persistence, and collaborative spirit necessary in tech.

 

Eager to continue my growth, I look forward to seizing new opportunities in the tech industry where I can apply my evolving skill set, engage with top industry talent, and contribute to impactful technology solutions.

 

EXPERIENCE

2024 - Current

Freelance Developer

As a Front-End Developer, I spearheaded significant web redesign projects that modernized online presences by aligning closely with high-fidelity Figma designs for pixel-perfect accuracy. My leadership in developing core website pages using React ensured a modular architecture, enhancing usability and aesthetic appeal. I successfully integrated user-friendly features such as a Card Request Form, which resulted in a sixfold increase in online revenue within just one month, and a real-time Google Calendar integration that streamlined event management. These enhancements significantly increased site traffic and improved user engagement while resolving critical usability issues, including outdated navigation and browser inconsistencies. Throughout these projects, I deepened my skills in React componentization, API integration, and utilized advanced features like hooks and context to maintain clean, efficient code, reducing operational workload and driving business success.
