Faith H. Wallace, Ph.D.

Web Developer. Professor. Writer. Hogwarts Student. Doctor Who Companion.

Curious?

Okay, so maybe I am not a student at Hogwarts… I am sure I'd be sorted into Ravenclaw! And, maybe I am not a Doctor Who companion… But wouldn’t time traveling in the TARDIS be amazing.

My career started, not in magic, but in education. I taught middle school English before I went back to school full-time to earn a Ph.D. in teaching and learning (in the field of reading education) from Georgia State University, and worked as a Professor of Literacy at Kennesaw State University (GA).

I chose to leverage my background in education for a new career as a Web Developer with an affinity for clean, classic web design with original and well-commented code. My expertise spans HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Python, Bootstrap, and complex problem solving with a keen attention to detail. Knowledge in using APIs and NoSQL databases such as Firebase. Understanding of Functional Programming philosophy and methods. Starting to learn React library.
