Enamored with technology
and how we can better use it to revolutionize our world
Greetings everyone I'm Garvin, a developer enthusiastic about the blending of strategy, pedagogy and software. My interest in engineering started in junior high school with stories of the space race, and I spent five years in the USAF working as an Aerospace Propulsion Technician. I've been enamored with technology and how we can better use it to revolutionize our world, as well as software that facilitates more intuitive access to information and education. To that end, I've picked up web development for both the frontend and backend as a place to pioneer in the Information Revolution. My frontend skills include React, HTML, and CSS. My backend skillsets include Node.js, Express, Rails, MongoDB, and Postgres SQL. I've also worked with middleware such as GraphQL and Redux.
