Amanda Walker Portfolio

Hi! I'm Mandy!

I graduated from high school with high honors, then pursued studies in biomolecular science at Clarkson University and later delved into computer programming at Syracuse University. Over the years, I have developed a well rounded skill-set, I have vast experience in web design, and have completed many projects, including the creation of this page. I have also worked a multide of jobs throughout my studies, I am well versed in customer service, and can easily manage a team in a stressful situations.

Currently, I am eager to enter the web development indusutry, using my proficiency in HTML and CSS, while actively expanding my knowledge set. Engaged in multiple onlines courses focusing on Javascript, SQL and Python and more, I tend to stay up to date with the always expanding knowledge of technology.

I am always looking for new opportunities and have decided to combine all my skills and start my own business!
