Welcome to Chase Murtaugh's Portfolio

About me:

I am a 24 year old Clemson graduate who has been programming for a little over a year now. My experience primarily lies in web development with JavaScript being my main language. I also have experience in Node.js, React.js, Handlebars, HTML, CSS, mySQL, MongoDB, JSON, Bootstrap, Express, GraphQL and Restful APIS. Besides programming, I enjoy reading, video games and hiking. I've completed every trail in New Jersey and am mid-way through Pennsylvania.
