I am a dynamic and passionate individual with a strong foundation in digital media and web design and development, currently finalizing the last semester in my Bachelor's of Science degree in Digital Media with a concentration in Web Design. Graduating in the Spring semester of 2024, this academic journey builds upon an Associate of Science in Digital Media that I obtained in 2020, showcasing a commitment to not giving up and the willingness to continue to learn in this rapidly evolving world.From early beginnings as a freelance web developer in 2009 while enrolled at Chattahoochee Technical College in Marietta, Georgia, to transferring and furthering studies at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City, Florida in 2018, my journey has been marked by a deeper understanding of not only web development, but my passion for digital media.Equipped with a broad skill set that includes graphic design, programming, videography, audio engineering, and more, my expertise spans across various technologies and methodologies. Specialties in coding encompass HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP (with a focus on WordPress), Python, and C++, complemented by proficiency in frameworks like React, Laravel, NextJS, and Bootstrap. Familiarity with development environments such as NodeJS, Composer, and Yarn highlights a versatile approach to solving complex problems and delivering innovative solutions.With a newly found keen interest in teaching within the scope of digital media and software, and web programming, reflects a desire to share knowledge and contribute to the growth of future professionals in these fields. The goal is not only to create "up-to-code" websites that meet current standards but also to inspire and educate others about the endless possibilities offered by technology and its future.I am committed to staying ahead of industry trends and continuously improving skills, there is a dedication to lifelong learning and adapting to new technologies and methodologies. This proactive stance ensures that projects undertaken are not just technically sound, but also reflect a “forward-thinking” perspective.For collaborations, inquiries, or opportunities to discuss how technology can be leveraged for impact, please reach out via email at genehowellwebguy@gmail.com or call 404-310-4661.
