I am a developer and designer from South Carolina who makes neat things for the web.
I graduated from Winthrop University in 2020, worked for Social Design House, and am now looking for new opportunities.
BS in Computer Science
Winthrop University
After taking programming classes in high school, I decided to pursue computer science as something more than a hobby. During my time at Winthrop University, my courses revolved around many topics, including:
Outside of the classroom, I have been growing my skill set by learning additional programming languages and frameworks, front-end and back-end, and using that knowledge to create websites and projects. For example, I took some time to learn WebGL to create that visual at the top. I also own ethan, the NPM package.
Minor in Digital
Information Design
In high school, I took a horrible web design class that involved working with a pre-Adobe version of Dreamweaver. However, that led me to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on my own. Once I honed down the basics, I experimented by creating cool-looking “pens” on Codepen, with some of them showing up on their homepage.
At Winthrop, I took their unique digital information design program as a minor, where I learned more about front-end development, user interfaces, user experience, information architecture, and how to properly use Photoshop and Illustrator.
On my own, I wanted to make my work look even better. I learned how to make clean and consistent user interfaces that are more than a pretty coat of paint. I inevitably became a type nerd, searching for amazing fonts like Iosevka, my programming font of choice and the font I used for this website.
