I am a recent FIU graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, skilled in front-end and back-end development.

I've also worked with Docker and have leveraged my business and management background to lead teams and enhance technical projects.
.01 About Me
Hello! My name is Joel Garcia. I enjoy sports, finance, and learning every aspect of building innovative and stylish applications. I was always curious as a child about how things online were created, and that had carried over into adulthood. That's how my journey began. In high school I took Web design courses, which I always loved. Eventually, I rediscovered my love for computers and dove into the Computer Science Program at FIU . From there, I started from the ground up and began learning things like Java, HTML, CSS and Computer Architecture.
As I started developing my skills, building some backend applications, and learning about Agile software development, I submerged myself into trying to learn as much as possible in my downtime. I spearheaded a backend application in school that was able to perform CRUD functionality and connect to a database that I created using MySQL. I was voted Scrum master by my peers, and made sure that the project was completed, while also helping students that were having trouble completing their portion. I am an extremely motivated individual and have fully designated my time and energy into learning as much as I can about web applications and web development, both on the front and back end.
Here are a few technologies i've worked with recently:
- JavaScript
- Next.js
- React
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- MySQL
- Tailwindcss
- Java
- Springboot
- Docker
