Hello, World

I'm April, and I'm a full-stack software engineer

About Me

Few can say they could view rocket launches from their own backyards, yet that’s what life was like growing up on Florida’s Space Coast. Working at Kennedy Space Center on the Space Shuttle program fueled my passion for technology, and contributing to human spaceflight will remain one of the highlights of my life. Seriously, what's more awesome than blasting astronauts into orbit, riding a massive column of fire?

While the retirement of the Shuttle program marked the end of an era, I embraced the opportunity to start fresh. After launching a new career in software engineering, my current focus is on developing web applications that are responsive, accessible, and engaging.

When I'm not creating sweet web apps, I enjoy hiking and attending concerts. I also write music and play piano, performing only for my cats.

Projects

The universe knows no limits, and neither should your imagination. Whether it's pure vanilla JavaScript or React with TypeScript, creativity and possibilities are boundless.

Having said that, you can never have too many cat-themed apps.

Get in Touch

Though my roots are planted in the wetlands of Florida, my ambition reaches for the stars. I'm ready to bring my skills to an enthusiastic team of developers, committed and eager to discover solutions together. I'm also passionate about funding my concert addiction, but I'm probably not supposed to say that part out loud.
