I am a full stack web developer that has been working with PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript since sophomore-year of High School. I develop web applications mostly with Javascript's AngularJS as the front-end MVC framework, and PHP's Laravel framework in the back-end. I develop mobile applications mostly with the Ionic framework which by itself, utilizes Angular JS.

I started programming during freshman year of high school with Visual Basic, developing simple programs like a word processor, MD5 file scanner, and an internet browser.

Currently, my forays are into studying Node.js, a Javascript environment that runs server-side, and Go, which provides to be a viable alternative to Node.js for situations where code duplication isn't necessary between front and back-ends. Both provide very rapid response times, which is one of my main problems when developing intensive PHP applications.

I am also starting into Java and C as they offer a nice, general programming language to work on (swiss army knives).
