Hello there.

My name is Melvin Vasquez.

Your friendly neighborhood Web Developer.

About Me

I started to learn to code in 2018, and since then I have never looked back. Coding hit a perfect trifecta that I was always looking for in a career.

It allows me to help people in many different ways. It grants me the ability to bring cool and creative concepts to life. It pushes me to constantly go beyond my limits, both professionally and personally.

I get excited at the opportunities to face new challenges, and that translates into making sure that anything I'm involved in receives nothing less than the best of me.

As a full-stack developer, I get to work in virtually anything and everything that I want and you need. Whether that's creating user-friendly experiences with React and Bootstrap, setting up servers with .NET or Node.js, or constructing and connecting to databases with SQL or MongoDB, I take it all in stride and with a smile.

❤️ A Wonderful Puzzle

Undertale Hangman

Styled after the hit indie-game Undertale, this game of hangman provides a charming and robust experience. Users can either use their keyboard to type in a guess, or enable the optional onscreen keyboard instead. Much like a certain someone's puzzles, it may not be too complicated, but it is quite enjoyable nonetheless.
