About Dillon Easter

As someone who\'s pathway into web development was very non-linear, I bring a unique perspective to the table. Studying to become a biological researcher and then moving into a communications and graphic design role helped me realize that I am a creator-leveraging analytical and creative skillsets to create things I\'m proud of-but also that I\'m a people-person-understanding how to strengthen the bonds of the people I worked with in order to help people to reach their goals. Helping people reach their full potential lights my fire as much a creating does.Aside from what my career-pathway illustrates, I\'m a highly driven people-person with an attention to detail that primes me for any industry or business venture where my unique perspective is in demand. I\'m always looking for opportunities to grow, create, and situations that put me outside of my comfort zone. I love to be able to work on projects that make a positive social impact and my life-long goal is to be able to help people understand the connections that we all share in order to build a world for the next generation that thrives off of respect for the natural world and community.Currently I\'m open to roles with more of a front-end or full-stack focus.
