ABOUT AUSTIN SCHROEDER

Front-end: JavaScript, React, Typescript, HTML, CSS, SASS, Bootstrap, Material-UI, CypressBack-end: Python, Django, Node, Express, MongoDB, SQL, PostgreSQLAdditional: Git/Github, Responsive Design, Wireframing, Figma, Adobe Suite-I caught fire coding. I always thought my dream was to be a rock star, or a music producer, traveling the world and seeing what it has to offer. It seemed like an appropriate dream given my childhood background in music. I gravitated toward the entertainment industry, and got pretty far doing so. But I kind of just felt meh. I yearned to learn more, yearned to learn something different.And that\'s when it happened; the spark I was missing ignited the instant I figured out how to hack and customize a Myspace profile design. Since then, I can\'t get enough. Web development calls to all my passions; it incorporates creativity and problem solving and I\'m allowed to break it to improve the code (in a separate Git branch, of course).I love applying responsive design principles and watching my web pages shrink into mobile screens and still look amazing. It\'s oddly satisfying. I think in a way I\'m kind of like those web pages; I\'m moldable, but I still keep my creative flair intact.My specialties include quickly learning new skills and programming languages, problem solving, domain driven design, responsive design principles, website optimization, and the Model View View Model (MVVM) and Model View Controller (MVC) methods of organizing code. So far I have SQL, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, Angular, and Git/GitHub under my belt, spending most of my time working in a React ecosystem. I\'m still enthusiastically grabbing onto any other programming languages, frameworks, or principles I can integrate into the coding web in my head.
