Hi! I'm John, a software engineer from Orange County California currently working at McGraw Hill. I take pride in creating clean, efficient, and intuitive web applications. I love working smart to bring my ideas to fruition.

Primarily, I am a front-end developer specializing in React and Angular but I'm no stranger to full-stack development with NodeJS and PHP in the backend. When I'm not coding, I'm either reading about code, gaming, watching streams, or working out.

Want to build something great together? Let's get in touch.
