Background

About David Taylor

I'm a life-long developer who has been coding for 18 years. I built a full stack website for my own self-employed business using PHP, Laravel, and MySQL well before I received any formal programming education. Since then, I have completed a Full Stack Bootcamp at University of Texas, as well as 5+ additional online courses for Typescript, React, Redux, and database management (both MySQL and noSQL). I'm passionate about intuitive UIs and DRY code. I love digging through documentation to figure out how to make something work the way I want. If there is a way to accomplish it, I will figure it out. The feeling when you create well-structured, easily upgradable code is a reward in itself, like solving a puzzle, but the best reward is when the screen looks and acts exactly as you want. Currently looking for a Full Stack Developer position. I am open to front-end or back-end only, but my genuine interest is in full stack development. I enjoy working on both ends and achieving full optimization between them. Please see my portfolio page if you would like to see a few projects, and contact me if you have any work opportunities or any questions about my work!
