As a full stack software development student, my skills include JavaScript, AngularJS, jQuery, HTML, CSS, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and SQL. After more than five years working as a journalist, I enrolled at Prime Digital Academy to help make a career shift to software development. I graduated on January 19, and I am now looking for my next development opportunity. I completed a solo project titled Pitch Aid, a full-stack web application that allows fantasy baseball players to monitor the starting pitchers they use on their teams. The program was created using AngularJS, Express, Node.js, MongoDB, Mongoose, Angular Materials, ES6, and CSS. Check out the application at https://pitch-aid.herokuapp.com/. Show less
