About Me

Full Stack Developer based out of NC

Hi, I'm Grace, a proud Filipino and an experienced and enthusiastic former Preschool teacher turned Web Developer. I have backgrounds both in Psychology and Early Childhood Education, which gave me superpowers to enhance teaching and learning strategies by using my coding abilities. During my academic career in Thinkful's Remote Engineering program, I have led and contributed to several different team projects that helped me be a versatile, well-rounded team member; collaborating with like-minded, passionate developers is something I am very excited about.

This portfolio represents a few of the responsive and full-stack web applications I developed independently and in team projects.

When I'm not coding, I'm often curled up in a cozy chair, binge-watching detective-mystery films, walking in the park, or cooking heartwarming foods for my family. If you want to know more about my experience, I would love to chat!

The app shows classroom project listings that users can review based on 1 to 5 stars. It also provides an external link to the specific projects donating site.
