## ABOUT ME

I live in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and have been building projects and apps using front-end and back-end languages and technologies with the goal of landing a Web Design or Front-End Developer job. I have loved learning all my life, and I have been studying web design, and web development since 2020.

I built my first two websites in 2009 using Dreamweaver. I installed WordPress on one of those sites in 2018, and have since built two other sites using WordPress. The last website I built uses the WordPress theme that I developed using _[underscores](https://underscores.me/)_ as a starter template. Although I like WordPress and what it has to offer for small businesses, I love writing JavaScript and CSS to bring my project ideas to life.

## WHAT I AM WORKING ON

✅ I'm currently taking a [UI Design course](https://designcourse.com/ui-ux) by Gary Simon.

✅ Currently refactoring my [Guitar Chord Namer](https://github.com/Kernix13/guitar-chord-names) project before I convert it from JavaScript to TypeScript.

📌 Looking to add to my [freeCodeCamp certifications](https://www.freecodecamp.org/fccb4a9d0f6-135f-4a94-97f5-795068269ca7) so I started their course _Foundational C#_ on the Microsoft Learn platform.

📌 I'm looking to collaborate with over devs on **_JS generated guitar chord SVGs_**.

📌 I'm looking for help with keyboard layouts for different languages to improve WriterAssist.
