Hey there!

I am Alan Garber

This is a placeholder.
Welcome to my website! My name is Alan Garber, and I'm searching for a position as a web developer, open to both frontend and full-stack roles. While my professional experience lies in frontend development, I’ve expanded my skills to include backend technologies and am always eager to tackle new challenges. If you’re looking for a dedicated developer, feel free to connect or send me a message.

My journey into web development began during the COVID lockdowns. While I initially pursued law at Washington University in St. Louis, my growing fascination with programming led me to explore JavaScript and Python, and eventually to specialize in React and TypeScript. In 2024, I took time off to pass the New York State Bar and deepen my backend knowledge, which culminated in building a full-stack tarot reading app. This project integrates Go for the backend, PostgreSQL for the database, and a JavaScript/React frontend. Hosted on an AWS EC2 instance and served by Nginx, it demonstrates my ability to bring together modern technologies in a functional and visually engaging application.

In my previous role, I honed my skills in frontend development within an Agile Scrum environment, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful projects. As I continue to grow in this field, I am excited to combine my frontend expertise with my newly acquired backend skills, contributing to innovative and meaningful software solutions.

Please note that the projects in this section have not been consistently maintained since summer 2022, and they reflect the level of quality I produced before gaining professional experience. Some are better than others, but the Tarot Project is the best reflection of where my skills are right now.
