About Me
Introduction
I am Terri Read and I love all things Web Technology. I have been a Technical Analyst with a software company that provides a Saas Website & CMS System for K-12 Private Schools for eight years. During this time, I have implemented over 600 websites for K-12 Private Schools and Non-Profits. I have also gained a wealth of knowledge about UI/UX design & development, Accessibility Standards, DevOps & “Subscription as a Service” Operations.
My journey with Web Technology began in 2017 when I decided to follow my passion and pursue a degree in Website Design & Development from Southern New Hampshire University. In 2021, I graduated with honors and became a Front End Developer. Recently, I completed the Front End Development bootcamp from NuCamp which has equipped me with the skills to build high quality user experiences.
In addition to the work I do with my employer, I have started my a Web Agency for small businesses and consult a local private K-12 school on a volunteer basis.
