01 // My Introduction

About Me

Hi there, I'm Danielle Thoreson, and I'm thrilled to have you on my portfolio page.

Growing up in the lively city of Sacramento, I've been immersed in the fast-paced world of technology from an early age. After completing an intensive coding bootcamp and dedicating countless hours to self-guided learning, I proudly identify as a Full Stack Developer.

My skills cover a broad spectrum, and my true passion lies in crafting user-friendly applications that merge practicality with a touch of entertainment. I started with Python, JavaScript, and C#, and my journey has led me to explore various libraries, frameworks, and tools. What truly excites me is the process of creating seamless digital experiences that truly benefit users, whether it's on the front-end or back-end.

Before venturing into the tech industry, I had a background in the mortgage sector, working for a major Fintech company. While I enjoyed my previous role, my newfound love for coding has opened up a world of ongoing learning and growth for me.
