I have an active Top Secret Compartmented Information (TS-SCI) clearance and a CompTIA Security+ certification, which demonstrate my ability to handle sensitive information and protect network security.
I am also a Front-End Developer at EP Marketing Source, where I create and maintain websites using Webflow, a no-code web design platform. I have a Webflow Layout Certification, Level 2, and an Inbound Marketing certification from HubSpot Academy, which show my proficiency in web design and digital marketing. I have over two years of web development experience, including seven months at Heirloom Cloud Corporation, where I developed quality products with no existing baseline to meet emerging requirements.
