My Story
Hello! I'm Theo. I'm a passionate Frontend Developer based in Portland, Oregon, currently shaping user-centric interfaces at Brightline Digital.
My journey into web development began with a fascination for how design and technology intersect to create meaningful digital experiences. I thrive on transforming complex problems into elegant, responsive solutions.
Pursuing my Bachelor's in Computer Applications from Portland State University, I'm constantly exploring new technologies like React.js, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS to build modern, efficient web applications. I believe in continuous learning and a collaborative approach to bring innovative ideas to life.
When I'm not coding, you might find me exploring new design trends or contributing to open-source projects.
