About Me

Hello and welcome to my Portfolio! My name is Alex Eversbusch. I am a passionate Web Developer and recent graduate of Georgia Tech Institute of Technology with a Full Stack Web Development | Coding Certificate. I am skilled in designing, building, and maintaining websites from conception to production. I enjoy working in a diverse team environment to develop solutions and exceed project expectations.

The bulk of my work experience has been in Landscape Architecture and Civil Engineering where I utilized strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, project management, and analytical skills. My greatest joy is taking a project from concept to completion, and providing clients with creative solutions to complex problems.
