hello, world

I'm Alex, a full stack developer working at Paycom. Most of my work experience is with PHP in an MVC framework, with more emphasis on backend.

Most of my hobbyist programming is spent on learning frontend frameworks to keep up with the industry and writing scripts to automate tedious tasks.
