ABOUT ME
A filmmaker turned musician turned obsessed coder.
A filmmaker turned musician turned obsessed coder.
After having gone to college for film, I wanted something a bit different - something where I could use the technical side of my brain more as I've always loved the tech world. So I completed a 3-month intensive programming bootcamp, and then started my career as a dev. I worked as a Software Engineer at a startup and then at a large corporation, where I learned to craft code and build services from scratch. I have experience with multiple parts of the stack, although mostly backend (specifically Ruby on Rails). Now that I'm working for myself, I have a more flexible schedule and would love to help out those who might benefit from it!
