Hi, my name is Derek! I am a Full-Stack Developer and Professional Creator who is currently in search of a web development (mainly frontend) position. I have experience in HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, JQuery, Bootstrap, Firebase, Node Js, Express, MySQL, MongoDB, React, and React-Native. I am also efficient in PhotoShop and Microsoft Office products. I have gained a multitude of problem solving skills from my previous work experience and by applying my degree in English that easily translates into web development and team environments. I hope to bring to the world imagination and creativity through my developments and other projects.

I strive to accomplish my goals of being a successful Professional Creator everyday. I am also proficient in effective communication, photography, problem-solving, and thinking outside the box. I've gained experience in many diverse work environments, which has inspried me to continue to broaden my skills and talents. I graduated from Utah State University in May 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in English and an emphasis in Creative Writing. I have since obtained a Certificate in Web Develpment from the University of Utah. I always strive to work above and beyond expectations and am a quick learner. I adapt quickly to new situations and work well independently and in group settings. I believe that hard work brings gratification both to the individual and to the company as a whole. My additional, personal goals include becoming a successful author, but I love to share my talents and personality in every environment I work. In my spare time, I make videos for my Youtube channel (Creator Kingdom) and work on my many different novels.
