About
I am Biz, a full stack developer full of grit and humor! I love puzzles, games of strategy, and modular building projects of all kinds. I love coding because it is another realm of puzzling and building, and I am excited to be part of this ever-progressing field!
Transitioning from a decade as a Special Education Teacher, I bring a proven expertise in strategic problem solving, nurturing potential, data analysis, communication and teamwork.
I have included some sample projects below. Please contact me if you would like to connect!
