About Christine

Hi, I'm Christine. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and love all things creative. From the luscious forests to the vibrant city streets, my surroundings have always fueled my passion for design and coding.

As a recent coding BootCamp graduate and self-taught developer, I found my calling in blending artistic flair with technical skill. My journey has led me to specialize in full-stack software development, where I create comprehensive solutions that are both functional and visually stunning. Whether I'm working on front-end interfaces or back-end systems, I strive to push the boundaries of what's possible in the digital world.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me experimenting with new baking recipes or vlogging snippets of my day.
