About Me
Hey, I'm Andre Richardson and I'm a Full Stack Developer.
In my latest role as Full Stack Engineer/UI Designer with We Build Black, I design and prototype clean, cross-platform user interfaces and then code them into Redux-managed React and React Native components. Within our Agile team of 4 developers headed by two leads, I also architect RESTful APIs for our mobile app and CMS with Node and PostgreSQL.
My passion for design and tech is what drives me to push and absorb a variety of Engineering principles. But if I'm not neck-deep in coding tutorials - you'll catch me plotting travel spots with friends, Netflix binging, RPG gaming, getting lost on Wikipedia and Google Earth, or just sketching random people because I'm an art kid at heart.
P.S.: I have way more hair on my head now than this picture lets on to (⌐■_■)
My skills include Front and Back End Technologies such as:
- HTML5
- CSS3
- Sass/SCSS
- Javascript
- jQuery
- Bootstrap
- React
- Redux
- React Native
- Node JS
- Express JS
- REST APIs
- NoSQL
- MongoDB
- Mongoose
- Mocha
