Developer Profile

Fullstack developer

I'm Frank Smith III, a Fullstack Academy graduate and fullstack developer based in Mahwah, New Jersey. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and I'm building a solid foundation in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and core full-stack practices.

I approach code the way I approach discipline: set a plan, execute with focus, and iterate until it's right. I keep my work straightforward and practical. If you want to see the discipline behind the code, check the photo stories that showcase jiujitsu wins, Spartan grit, and developer mindset in action.
