Clayton Ingalls
Web Developer
I build interactive, responsive web applications using modern web technologies.
I have a particular interest in React having worked with it daily since 2018.
Origin Story
Although I built my first website on Geocities in 1996, it wasn't until after a career in ministry that I decided to pursue a long time dream to truly learn to code.
Using FreeCodeCamp and other online resources, I learned the skills I needed to land my first developer job and learned that I do indeed love being a developer.
My main focus these days is building new features for Flocknote's church management software.
