Hello, I'm Eric Schweitzer, a freelance web developer with a certificate in full stack web development from the University of Wisconsin and a Mendix certification. With over a year of freelancing experience and two years of coding under my belt, I specialize primarily in front-end development.
My journey into web development was inspired by a friend in the business and began with using code.org before pursuing formal education. I sacrificed a lot to go back to school and start a new career in tech, and my hard work and high motivation have brought me to where I am today. I have a passion for continuous learning and love that this field offers endless opportunities to grow and improve my skills.
I have worked on numerous projects, links to which you can find on this website. What I enjoy most about my work is the constant learning process and the fact that there's always something new to discover. Every day, I get better and expand my knowledge.
While I mainly focus on front-end development, I also run my own business, which means I handle everything from customer contact to selling my services. Additionally, I offer social media marketing and photography services, with a link to my photography site available on this website. I strive to work with any budget and always prioritize my customers' satisfaction, doing everything I can to meet their needs.
Outside of work, I love to ride motorcycles, spend time with my kids, going to museums and parks, and enjoy sports and concerts.
My ResumeBefore discovering my passion for web development, I navigated a winding career path. I found myself in a stable job that, while reliable, offered limited growth and financial progression. Realizing that staying in that position would lead to stagnation, I decided to take a leap of faith. I left my job and explored various opportunities to make a living. It was then that a friend in the tech industry introduced me to coding. I began with code.org to test the waters, and I was quickly captivated. This newfound interest led me to pursue further education at the University of Wisconsin Boot Camp. Though the journey was challenging, it proved to be incredibly rewarding.
Today, I'm a freelance web developer, dedicated to delivering high-quality solutions for my clients. With a strong foundation in coding and a passion for continuous learning, I've built a solid portfolio showcasing my skills. My experience has taught me the importance of adaptability, creativity, and attention to detail. I'm proud of the progress I've made and the sacrifices I've overcome to get here. My motivation is unwavering, driven by the desire to continue growing as a developer and delivering exceptional results.
As I look ahead, I'm excited to continue learning and honing my skills as a web developer. Whether I'm working freelance or as part of a tech company, my goal is to stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices. I'm committed to expanding my expertise in all areas of tech. My ultimate aim is to create innovative, user-centric solutions that make a meaningful impact. With persistence and dedication, I'm confident that my future in web development will be bright. I'm eager to take on new challenges, collaborate with like-minded professionals, and contribute to the ever-evolving world of tech.
