About

My focus is primarily in front end JavaScript and building beautiful, intuitive UIs, though I also like to have an understanding of the big picture and how everything works from front to back.

My background includes a mix of being self-taught, a full stack web development certification from Case Western Reserve University (2018), and over three years of combined industry and freelance experience. When I'm not coding, I enjoy gardening, making art, and reading about word etymologies.

Liz

Let's work together!
