👤 About Me

Hi, I’m Marcel Williams — a Software Engineer in Training with full-stack experience and a strong drive to build scalable, real-world web applications.

I have graduated from the Chegg Skills (Thinkful) Software Engineering program, where I had been sharpening my skills in full-stack JavaScript development, with a particular focus on the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node.js). With a solid background in technical roles and systems analysis, I bring both practical problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset to every project. Currently i am enrolled in the Computer Science program at Trident Tech College

Before transitioning into tech, I spent over a decade in field service and systems management roles at AT&T and TXU Electric Delivery, where I honed skills in technical troubleshooting, data analysis, and communication. These roles have shaped my ability to approach engineering tasks with a user-first, reliability-focused mindset.
