Hunter Faulkner
Developer | Data Scientist
Welcome. Consider this page an introductory frontend project of mine! I'm pleased to have you here! I have given this page a responsive design style and hope to update it as I learn!
To introduce myself, my name is Hunter Faulkner. I am a 24-year-old Mississipian that is currently living and studying in Sydney, Australia! I am mostly self-taught in programming and it has become a major hobby that I enjoy daily. I am also interested in economics and finance, enjoy reading, and game whenever I'm free. I also study Japanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese for the purposes of family and my own travels as I enjoy experiencing new cultures.
