About me
Welcome to my CV! I am happy that you are taking the time to read this. I am from Montana, USA. I am living in Ecuador right now and have been here for 5 years. I have been an ESL teacher during this time. I want to start to transition out of
teaching and work my way into web development.
Over the last year I have been learning web development through great programs like FCC and hard work I have learned a lot. I still have a lot to learn but am confident in my abilities. Thankfully as most of my career until now has been remote
I have great work methodologies to be able to complete tasks on my own.
In my free time I love to spend time with my wife and son. My son loves to play outside and go on walks. I have a quite a few hobbies I love cooking and learning to cook new things. One of my specialities is baking desserts.

Most of my work experience has been working remotely and knowing how to organize and use time effectively has been an invaluable tool that I can use in any position.

Skills
Over the years I have learned many skills that I can apply to any situation or project
Working and collaberating with others
- I have worked on a lot of projects with others needing to meet deadlines. Being a team player has been huge for me to be able to succeed and also grow. I work well with others and love to be friends with the people I work with.
Working alone and getting things done
- I have worked remotely by myself for five years and know how to work hard and finish tasks being a remote worker has a lot of advantages such as not having distractions or stopping to chat while I am working.
Working long hours
- I am accustomed to needing to work long hours to be able to finish projects. Working with people all over the world has helped me to be able to adjust myself and change schedules frequently. This has given me a huge advantage and I know
how to stay productive no matter what hours or how many hours I have to work.
Overcoming Technical problems
- Some of my earliest memories are of working on the computer with my father. Over the course of my life I have learned to work with computers and overcome most technical problems that I could face. This has helped me to be able to stay
productive and not slow down.
Learning quickly and on the job
- In each job I have had I have had to adjust and learn new programs and protocalls. Being able to to learn quicly and adjust to things is an important asset for anyone today. I love to learn and I can learn alone or with someone else. I
