About Me

Hello! My name is Sarah and I'm actively seeking a full-time position as a web developer here in Denver, Colorado. I started coding in 1999 and am an expert in HTML5 and CSS3. Having recently graduated from the Galvanize Full Stack Web Development Immersive, I now enjoy working with JavaScript/ES6, Sass, React, AWS, Git, Node, and much more.

When I'm not working on my several passion projects you'll find me cooking some great Italian or Japanese food - I love to cook. Like almost everyone else in Colorado I love the outdoors and take a trip to a different National Park every summer.

What I'm Looking For

Culture matters more than tech stack.

I’ve been honing my web development skills since graduating from Galvanize and, first and foremost, I’m looking for a position where I can continue to exercise those skills. And, I’m definitely looking for a position where I can grow — professional development is something that’s really important to me since I hope to take on managerial responsibilities in the future. To sum it up, I’d love a position where I can use my skills to make an impact that I can see with my own eyes. Of course, the position is only part of the equation. Being at a company where I can grow and work toward something I care about matters, too.
