ABOUT ME
Back-end Focused developer with 10 years of experience
Back-end Focused developer with 10 years of experience
In my career I've found a lot of joy in talking to and helping other developers find their path and way through the software development industry. I've noticed there's a lot of common problems people face in terms of developing either soft skills, or knowing when they've outgrown their current environments, and I love connecting with developers from all types of companies to help them navigate those.
