Hey, I'm
Anthony!
I'm a software engineer based in Brooklyn, NY. I have an eye for UI / UX design, beautiful, pixel-perfect interfaces & cutting edge technologies.
Projects
First Project

- • API Routes: Developed essential API routes (POST, GET, DELETE) for seamless client-server communication.
Hobbies
One of my favorite hobbies is motorcycling. Learning how to ride a motorcycle for the first time & having to pass the road test in just two days was on of the most difficult things I've ever done.
I was amazed that I was able to push through & not give up. My reward the ability to see the world like I've never seen it before & all of the friends I've made. I look at programming & design through a similar lens; the need to explore, overcoming difficulties in wherever they appear.
