<about me>
Hi! Welcome to my website!
My name is Rakesh Parmar and I'm a Front-End
Developer. Before I started on my coding journey, I worked in customer service and patient
care, gaining 10+ years of experience. Over that time, I harnessed my natural
charisma and strong communication skills to resolve client problems
effectively and efficiently, adapted to growing and changing needs and built strong
teamwork skills and rapport with clients and colleagues alike.
Though I found success in these roles, I felt unfulfilled and wanted a career
that offered something more creative. I enrolled in the Juno College of Technology Web
Development Bootcamp where I transferred my adaptability and problem solving
skills
to build fun, beautiful, accessible, responsive and engaging websites and applications. Now,
as
a
graduate, I look forward to the next chapter and challenge in my coding journey!
When I'm not coding, you can find me groovin' to some hip-hop 🎧 eating popcorn at the local
cinema
🍿 screaming at my TV during the big game 🏈 or contracting carpal tunnel playing video
games 🎮
