Hi, I'm Ethan F. Flores. I am a full-stack engineer based in Santa Barbara, CA.
About Me
I am a software engineer with a non-traditional background. I am naturally curious and proactive with an eagerness to learn. I pride myself on my work ethic and always collaborate with a "can-do" mindset. Currently, as a Freelance Web Developer I have had the opportunity to collaborate with non-profit organizations and with clients who are active in the healthcare sector.
I hold a B.S. in Health Science, Pre-Physical Therapy, I am a veteran of the US Army Officer Corps and Guam native.
Enrolling into the Hack Reactor by Galvanize coding bootcamp was the start of my career. As I continue to grow my skills I intend to continue to work in the web development space and collaborate with non-profit organizations with the goal of eroding the barriers to equitable healthcare access. My core stack is React, Redux, Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript.
