About Me

Logan Pritchett presenting at UL Honors Convocation Nov 2018

Hi, I'm Logan, a passionate full-stack JavaScript developer based in Lafayette, Louisiana. My journey began as a chemical engineering student at UL Lafayette, but everything changed when I discovered my true calling in software development. I thrive on solving complex problems through code and building innovative solutions. Beyond programming, I'm an avid learner - I'm currently studying Spanish and German, starting side hustles, as well as continuing to expand my knowledge of web development. My tech stack includes JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL and Knex. I'm currently diving deeper into TypeScript and Python.
