Hello! I'm Melissa Walker.

I'm a Front End Web Developer who enjoys coding clean and responsive websites.

In the past decade, I’ve pursued my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology along with immersing myself in the medical field. As an administrator, I’ve worn many hats ranging from managing the front desk operations, appealing claim denials, and interviewing potential candidates for employment, to focusing on patient satisfaction, and office efficiency. My passion, however, has always been in technology. My interest began with editing my Myspace background and evolved into a desire to create responsive websites. In my spare time, I love to paint, make, and create crafts with my daughter, Eleanor. When possible, I also enjoy listening to many of the local bands playing at an outdoor venue while sipping a refreshing craft beer. Although I’ve immersed myself in education and healthcare, I am very much looking forward to bringing the many skills I’ve learned and the “client first attitude” to help elevate a company and increase its client base.
