Hi, I'm Alex McKendrick! I am a full-stack web developer who has a passion for computers, language, art and knowledge.

What I enjoy about web development the most is being able to create tools for myself and others that open up avenues for utility, creativity and opportunities for learning and growth. I feel most websites aid these causes in some way, which drives me to love what I do.

A couple of projects I am working on currently in my spare time are:

- A taxonomy API that stores the scientific names of flora and fauna I have identified for reference. I aim to be able to graph their taxonomic relations to help aid me in learning more about the plants and animals I encounter.

- A simple interface that will make it easier for me to create generative art, such as seen here

Currently I am interested in expanding my abilities with Laravel and Vue/React, making generative audio/visual art and learning the functional paradigm to better understand programming as a whole.

In my personal life, I like to produce electronic music, fly drones, be in nature and identify plants and animals. I also enjoy sports such as caving and power-kiting.
