I’ve been developing websites professionally for nearly a decade. Much of my experience is based in WordPress websites and front end development, but I also have experience with backend technologies (PHP, Laravel, MySQL). I’m currently focused on exploring the decoupled CMS approach and digging deeper into React and Next.js.
Hello! I’m Debbie.
I’m a writer and full stack web developer based in Chicago. I make sense of the world through my stories and help agencies and organizations solve problems through code.

Words
Writing
Writing is how I make sense of the world around me. My fiction often explores issues of identity, belonging, and family through narrative imagination and expansiveness.
