Cortlin's Headshot

Hi. Thanks for visiting.

My name is Cortlin, and I am a front-end developer and designer.

In 2013, I began my career as a wordpress developer for a small marketing agency, building websites for local businesses. Over the past eight years, I have developed an interest in technology, both software and hardware. Throughout my career, I have taken advantage of working at smaller companies to be as multifaceted and highly adaptable. I have professional experience in marketing, social media advertising, server management, networking, application development, and even Active Directory and exchange management.

Currently, I choose to hone in on my web development skills, focusing specifically on single page applications using React and Vue, as well as REST and web socket API’s using ExpressJS.

About This Site

This site is currently built with vanilla the React Javascript framework with static content, and using Tailwind CSS  for all of the styling.

Why React?

First and formost, I really like creating websites with React. I feel that is is important to use the tools that I intend to use everyday so I can keep improving my ability to write better javascript.

As for the second reason, I would like to eventually implement a headless CMS (wordpress) and move all of my content into custom post types to make adding new portfolio items and potentially a blog much more user friendly.
