About me

From words to code.

My name is Kelly Lloyd. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2016 with a BA in English and initially worked in real estate and legal fields.

Feeling unfulfilled, I pivoted to software development after being laid off during COVID-19. I completed online courses in Python and JavaScript, transitioning into web development over the past four years.

My first coding job ignited my passion for creating innovative projects, where I blend creativity and problem-solving with emerging technologies.
