  Web Developer - volunteer

  Communicate with non-profit organizations on their needs for a website. Initiate a phone call, sometimes schedule a second one. Put in what I gathered into Jira, create a diagram on how the website should flos abd another one on how it should look with Figma. Then create the project with either React.js or Express.js, using Scss, JavaScript, Html, Node.js, and MongoDB. I offer simpler solutions compared to WordPress which is limited in and prone to security vulnerabilities with their plugins. I build secure apps that is much harder to hack and doesn't have issues with anything attached like 3rd party plugins. Show less
