Hello, I'm Andy, a Portland-based full stack developer specializing in React and Java. I have experience with both front and back end, including UI and applying accessibility standards.
I have certificates in MERN (from the University of Oregon), Java React Native (from Southern Methodist University), as well as Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Certified Foundations Associate.
My goal is to help make tech more accessible and efficient for everyone. Always looking to contribute more for sustainability, universal education, and ethics in technology.
When I'm not doing that I'm practicing music, volunteering with local civic tech organizations, or failing to read through my book collection.
Always looking forward to what's next!
