Hey

I’m Skyelar! And I’m Software Developer from Southern California, specializing in Full-Stack Web Development. I have a passion for creating robust back-end applications utilizing a variety of technologies including Node, Express, and Python. Often accompanied by beautiful and easy-to-use front-end applications built in React.

When I’m not developing software, I love to learn about space! Did you know If two pieces of the same type of metal touch in space, they will bond and be permanently stuck together? This is known as Cold Welding. Pretty neat right?
