Hello, I'm Shawn Holmes
Software Engineer
Welcome to my portfolio! I'm passionate about building sleek, scalable web applications and digital experiences that merge design precision with business impact. I specialize in front-end development with React and modern JavaScript frameworks, while also working with backend technologies to create full-stack solutions.
About Me
I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for creating innovative web solutions that make a real difference. Based in Philadelphia, PA, I bring together technical expertise and creative problem-solving to build applications that users love.
My journey in technology started during my time at Year Up, where I discovered my love for coding and software development. Since then, I've been dedicated to continuous learning and growth, always staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.
What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between technical implementation and business needs. I don't just write code – I create solutions that drive results and enhance user experiences.
When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or mentoring aspiring developers. I believe in the power of community and knowledge sharing in the tech world.
