About Me
headshot of Dale Sakamoto

Welcome

My name is Dale and I love building and creating things, from apps and databases to music and stories. My experience includes Javascript, Python, CSS, HTML, React/Redux, PSQL, and sequelize. I love being challenged by a problem and using my creativity and ingenuity to solve it, including debugging and clearning up my code. There is no better feeling in the world than spending hours attempting to fix a problem and watching the code run as you imagined and designed.
