Built with: JavaScript, AI-assisted development
Mushroom Zone
A fictional foraging club website built to practice layout and responsive design. A fun exercise in making information feel welcoming and visually alive.

My Interests
When I am not pushing pixels for work, I like to look up! At satellites or birds.
I enjoy bird watching. My favorite bird at the moment? The American Kestrel aka North America's smallest raptor.
My other hobby, ham radio, has got me building antennas and programming transceivers. One day, I hope to make contact with the International Space Station.
