Ah, a tale as old as time: teacher turned coder. If only I'd learned sooner that my previous career would have left me with so many transferrable skills!
I've loved building websites since I was a kid, but now I get to use modern web technologies to build interactive, quick-responding and accessible web applications*.

*~~That means no more <blink> and <marquee>, sorry, 10-year-old me.~~

It's #Hacktoberfest , baby! Here's a little contribution just so it doesn't go by unnoticed! An accessible accordion webblock, HTML and CSS only!

Finally reworked the styling of my personal website. Might be a little quirky, but this is the place for me to experiment with possibly "non-commercial" looks and themes. We all know it's just a ma...

Migrated my personal website to 11ty! It's super pleasant to use and I made sure I used 11ty-image for image optimization. A few tweaks and I managed to make a nunjucks shortcode to optimize images...

I was part of a team of four women and we submitted a project for the TechTogether Chicago hackathon! It was really fun to brainstorm what the project should be, what resources we'd use, what acces...

These past couple of weeks were intense. 7 website layouts are no joke if you're supposed to use pure HTML + CSS - no libraries, no preprocessors! - and are supposed to focus on floats rather than ...

The difference a single month can make. First pure HTML layout is dated Jan 18, 2022. Second layout (HTML + CSS + one simple media query... only floats allowed, no flex!) finished today, Feb 15, 20...

This is actually my first freelance project! Joined a team at Metazu Studio which will be responsible for recreating a website for a small company. No more Wordpress for them! No shade on Wordpress...

Learning Experiences

While I'll definitely need to set aside some time to write about everything that's going on with my learning and development, I got my first article published by the TechTogether team about my expe...

Day 2 of the TechTogether Miami hackathon just ended with a super fun game of Skribbl among friends! Lots of awesome workshops today - including one on databases and another on blockchain. A couple...

Another hackathon going on from Feb 11-13, TechTogether Miami! It's beginner-friendly and organized into four main tracks: Design, App Development, Game Development, and Web Development. My focus i...

Attended TechTogether Atlanta! What a great experience. I was a little wary of hackathons because I had this mythical image of them, but TechTogether changed my perception. The workshops were great...

Not-Code

off any topic Taking a moment to highlight how fun this playlist is. Curated by the TechTogether Miami Hackathon folks. A lot of stuff I wouldn't otherwise listen to, and some songs I really liked.
