Hi, I'm Halley McRae.

I'm a Web Developer, lover of everything coffee, and an avid stargazer.

Welcome to my portfolio!

About Me

I am a problem solver at heart, with a passion for continuous skill development. Dedicated team-leader who works effectively in collaborative cross-functional settings. I am enthusiastic about switching into the field of web development because I am passionate about developing products that will help others.

Why web development?

I've always loved to build things and spent years trying to find a career path that I utilize my creativity.

In 2018, I was presented with the opportunity to co-found a tech start-up. Not being well-versed in the tech world, I naturally said, yes. I'm a problem solver, and spent countless hours everyday reading and researching - quickly finding myself engulfed in the tech-world.

Fast forward to fall 2020, I'm still a university student who spent more time on Codeacademy and Edabit, than I did hours per day in class lectures. Shortly after coming to this realization, I took a leap of faith, and in February 2021 I dove into the Web Development Bootcamp at BrainStation. I learned more than I could have imagined, and I couldn't be happier with my career path.
