+          <p>I'm an <del>aspiring</del> software developer who is generally proficient throughout most parts of the web stack, from frontend to backend, and with multiple technologies and platforms.

           <p>I was mainly inspired by the <a href="https://martinfowler.com/articles/richardsonMaturityModel.html">Richardson Maturity Model</a>, and wanted to build a tool that could create arbitrary RESTful data APIs that are simultaneously compliant with the various RFC specifications, as well as Roy Fielding's <a href="https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm">original dissertation</a>.</p>
