Chad Fitzgerald Email and Phone Number

I'm a Software Engineer focused on web development technologies such as JavaScript, React, Redux, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. As a former Zoology graduate with work experience in many different types of animal husbandry, I am passionate about animals and conservation. I recently worked on a clone of the website PetFinder, utilizing React, Redux, and Ruby on Rails. I've also recently built a unique social media app that focuses on connecting through quality content. On a more personal note, I'm a big gamer, playing both board and video games. My first project was a JavaScript game influenced by online flash games I used to play. My current board game obsession is Quacks of Quedlinburg, but some of my long-time favorites are Azul and Seven Wonders. For video games, I'm currently playing Elden Ring and loving it! Though my favorite genres have to be roguelites such as Hades or Slay the Spire, or puzzle games like the Portal series.Whether it's painting, photoshop, or a fun session of Gartic Phone with friends, I have a creative side that I enjoy exploring. I love that I'm able to use my creativity in developing software, and that I can challenge myself to think both logically and creatively. When building something, I like to imagine myself as both a first-time and consistent user. To me, a user's experience is extremely interesting and fun to delve into. I am always striving to craft an interface that is both intuitive and stylish.As a full stack developer, I have enjoyed building with JavaScript, React/Redux, Ruby/Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Express, Node, CSS, and HTML, but I am always continuing to learn. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to know what I'm currently learning or working on!
