I'm Josef Vassell, a software engineer with a passion for developing web and mobile applications that makes everyday life easier.

I was born and raised in McAllen, Texas. From a young age, I have always enjoyed challenges. When I began my university journey, my major was Exercise Science.However, someone told me about computer science, and I fell in love with the idea of solving problems and having the ability to create.

I have experience with C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and Dart, which is very similar to JavaScript. Java is my preferred language due to its string manipulation, object-oriented programming, and comprehensive documentation. When working on web applications, I prefer JavaScript because of NodeJS, the React framework, and NextJS. I have used React to develop responsive web applications in the past. For mobile applications, I am efficient with Dart and the Flutter framework. I have collaborated on a team project to create a mobile application that allows users to rent out technology for money. Our team utilizes Firebase as the database, providing me with experience in working with various databases.

I am currently working to obtain the AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Developer Associate certifications. My goal is to develop an inventory project using NextJS with AWS DynamoDB as the database. I aim to build a project with Amazon Web Services as the backend. Learning AWS will enhance my skill set and make me more versatile.
