About

Full stack web developer

I'm Gage — a full stack web developer who communicates ideas effectively and works a problem until it's solved for everyone involved.

I build across the stack: React and React Native on the front, Node, Python, and Django behind it. Right now I'm interning at FamilySearch while finishing a Web Design and Development degree at BYU-Idaho, and moving to Richmond, VA.

Away from the keyboard I'm usually climbing — which is how ClimbersDen happened. I like building tools I actually use.
