Profile: https://flows.cv/timothyfahrenreich

I am a highly-motivated web developer with 7+ years experience under my belt developing immersive digital experiences while solving unique challenges along the way. I am always looking for new ways to develop challenging and innovative web products. 

I've spent the last few years working mainly in React while evangelizing TypeScript on the teams I join. I'm constantly working on my craft by challenging myself with projects outside my experience.
