Hey everyone — I’m Frank Smith III, a fullstack developer based in Mahwah, New Jersey with roots in Brooklyn. I’m currently training at Fullstack Academy while building real-world applications using JavaScript, React, Node.js, and modern frontend tools.
Where I Started
Before software, I spent years as an entrepreneur and personal trainer. I founded TheYardLLC and Eagle Holdings Corp, developing discipline, structure, and problem-solving skills that now shape my coding approach.
Why I Chose Software Engineering
I wanted a career where I could build things that scale — tools, apps, ideas that live online and impact people at any time. Coding gives me creativity and technical control.
What I’m Building Now
React applications
DOM utilities
API-driven tools
My Facility-Tree family tracking app
JavaScript practice challenges
Where I’m Going
My long-term goal is to create tech that blends fitness, wellness, and community impact. I love building systems and structured workflows — software lets me bring that to life.
