About
Hey nice to meet you! My name is Allen, and I've loved coding since I was 7 years old! My first few steps into programming was developing games in a very old app called BYOND. Using it's built in DreamMaker program.
Going through web development courses at Red River College I found a love for creating and designing web applications, and now I'm trying to push my skills further!

My first professional project was to create a simple pure PHP database app. With very little knowledge from school, I read, learned and grew my knowledge of PHP tremendously.
This database was later recognized by the Executive Director, where it transitioned from my own simple PHP framework to a full application using Laravel used by all Manitoba locations.
I first learned JavaScript in 2017 when I was in Web Development classes at Red River College, using only Vanilla JS and basic DOM manipulation.
To continue my growth I started learning from all types of resources. From the CSX CodeSmith program relearning the basics (Callbacks, Closure & Scope, Recursion, and Asynchronous JavaScript), working through The Odin Project and it's JavaScript sections, to reading official documentation on React, and Next.js.
