Congrats on choosing Hard Mode!

If you want to unlock the secrets of my portfolio, you're going to have to put your knowledge of JavaScript to the test!

You will have to utilize the functions showAbout() and showProjects(), to see my info, but before calling the functions, you will need to edit the code above to be true statements. Once that's done, just call showProjects() and showAbout().

About Me

Originally hailing from New Orleans, I now find myself in Charleston after brief interludes in Los Angles and Houston. No matter where I have been, I have always had a love for coding whether it was for analyzing lab data, building my research group's website, or making fun RPG games on the side.

Now, I have decided to take a new approach to life and have brought programming to the forefront. I am excited to have embarked on the neverending journey of learning that comes with coding, and I can't wait to share that knowledge and hard work with you. While my focus has primarily been on the front end, I am looking forward to expanding my full (MEAN) stack capabilities by continuing to work with Node.js and MongoDB.

When my face isn't buried deep in code on my Mac, I can likely be found in the kitchen making some of my crafty confectionary crafts or enjoying some sweet downtime relaxing on my PS4.
