I'm Rey Gutierrez
I'm a freelance full stack web developer born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. My fascination with computers started early and evolved into a deep passion during high school. I pursued web development in college at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where I majored in Information Technology and Management. This academic journey and multiple post-graduation certificates equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of computers, web development, and web design.
Today, I specialize in designing and coding websites for small businesses. I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects for diverse clients, including a tile company, a merchandise company, and a bakery.
Currently, I’m based in Chicago and continue to work with businesses to enhance their online presence with creative, seamless websites. In my free time, I like to play my synthesizer and go bouldering with my friends.



Regardless of project size, you always get:
- Quality
- Professionalism
- Transparency
I maintain high standards of quality in all aspects of design and development, by ensuring that code is accurate, efficient, and free of bugs.
I am committed to delivering high-quality solutions on time and within budget, ensuring client expectations are met consistently.
I am skilled in translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights and maintaining open, transparent communication throughout the project

“I was sincerely impressed by the Movie Night website and what it accomplished. It is a simple site, but it accomplishes everything that is needed; it allows us to create accounts, suggest films to watch, vote on them, and then submit our reviews afterwards if we are interested. This site has been instrumental in making our movie nights much more efficient, allowing us ample time to focus on enjoying the film we came together to watch. Visually, the website is easy to follow and intuitive, featuring backgrounds that evoke a cinematic mood.”
