Profile: https://flows.cv/petercrosta

I am a full stack javascript developer with a focus in NERDS (Node, Express, React/Redux, and database using SQL. I also have experience creating data visualizations using d3 in React, and a web scraper using Python, Django, SQLite, Beautiful Soup, and Requests.
 
I discovered my passion for software development after teaching myself SQL for a neurology research study. Language precisely deployed, along with its potential to leverage complex algorithms for easy-to-use consumer products means unlimited potential projects for me to get excited about.
