About Me

Hello! My name is Benjamin Quintero, and it's great to meet you! I'm a Junior at the University of Central Florida currently studying Computer Science, and I'm passionate about web and in-browser app development.

My experience with web development is primarily in the frontend, such as with HTML/CSS/JS and Next.js, but I also have a little bit of experience with backend and API development as well.

My passion and goal with web development lies in creating apps that are both useful and have a positive impact in a person's daily life.
