About Me
Hello, I'm Alex Marsh
I'm a full-stack web developer based in Buffalo, NY
For as long as I can remember I’ve been creating, experimenting, and looking for challenges to solve. I am driven by an intense passion for creative pursuits, technology, art, and science.
My unrelenting thirst for knowledge eventually led me to pursue a career in web development where the constant challenge of finding innovative and creative solutions combined with creating visually appealing products immediately interested me.
When I’m not working on challenging, detail-oriented projects I’m learning how to solve the problem I haven’t encountered yet.
