hello!
Thanks for checking out my site! My name’s Elisabeth and I’ve been messing around with programming since 2018.
Here, you can learn a little bit more about me and the projects I’ve been working on. Any thoughts, feedback, questions, comments, jokes, etc. are appreciated so take a look around and feel free to reach out!
technologies I'm currently messing with
(more info coming soon)
a brief history
After working in administration at a tech start-up, I was immediately drawn to the development and UI/UX side of the business, both the creativity and focus needed to architect something functional, beautiful, and efficient. I love seeing all the moving parts of a project come together and the satisfaction of a finished, tangible piece. Naturally, I had to learn more.
I completed codecademy’s web development course, a slew of freeCodeCamp modules, collaborated with my friends in dev, and so on, but I knew I needed even more insight. Therefore, at the beginning of 2021 I graduated from the University of Richmond’s Web Development bootcamp which allowed me to build full-stack web applications from the ground up and leverage the hodge-podge of tools I’ve learned inside and outside of a classroom. With this, I started to actually feel like a proper developer.
I am still at the beginning of my journey, but I am constantly learning and growing from the experiences I’ve had professionally and within the development community itself. Currently, I’m working on refactoring my portfolio and previous projects to gain more practice with some of the technologies i’ve been enjoying messing around with as of recently. Take a look around and let me know what you think!
other interests of mine

Gitworkd is a platform for hosting and exploring open source projects. It is easy to get lost in the vast world of GitHub, so we thought it would be beneficial to create a centralized ground for users to post projects and applications that are exclusively open to collaboration. Users are able to explore repositories posted by other users, save those repositories, and add their own repositories all within a simple and intuitive environment.
Technologies: Heroku, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Express, Handlebars, mySQL, Node
