Hello! I'm Darling
I'm currently attending Wesleyan University to major in Computer Science and minor in Data Analysis. I've spent the past four years exploring various paths in technology and found front-end Web Development as my main interest of study. I've managed to form strong bonds with the people I work with and always assure that a project ends up as perfect as it can. Being a Digital Media Curricular Support Specialist has allowed me to develop multiple front-end websites to the client's full satisfaction and their envisioned design. I'm constantly working on skills to develop big projects for a tech company in the future.
Knowing a little of who I am, don't hesitate to reach out if you are in need for a website or any other projects. Although my area of expertise lies within Web Development, I also am able to do certain applications in other languages! Contact me below!
