I am a self-taught front-end developer passionate about learning, working on meaningful projects, and solving problems. Having completed the Responsive Web Design certification, JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures certification, and Front End Libraries certification from freeCodeCamp, I set out to gather development experience by completing a wide range of projects. I then booked front-end development courses with Udemy, learning much along the way. Finally, I joined the 2021 cohort of Stanford University's Code in Place, which finished in May 2021 and focused on Python. Up unto this day I have created various projects, such as a websites for travel, games like blackjack for example, and menus used to order food. I accomplioshed this mainly with HTML, JavaScript, React, Python, Bootstrap, and CSS. More recently though, my focus has been on front-end development, leading me to specialize in React. My projects are all available to view at my personal portfolio website (http://www.mahiersydow.com) and GitHub profile (https://github.com/mahier8).
