About Me

Hi! I'm Cheshire, a 29-year-old coder based in Rochester, NY.

I'm passionate about making things, and I'm always working on a project or two.

I have about 10 years of experience working on web development projects, both personal and professional. I also have education and experience with software development and scripting languages.

I've also tutored programming on-and-off throughout the years, and authored a basic HTML/CSS tutorial geared towards complete beginners. For me, teaching is a way to share the joy of code. If you are interested in private tutoring, please get in touch.
