Why me?
I'm a code junkie who brings self-discipline, passion and proven skills to the table.
In a few words:
A self-taught problem solver who plays well with any team.
You're looking for a junior front-end developer who's a hybrid: They have the skills you need today and a proven drive to learn the skills you need tomorrow. I'm that guy. I'm self-taught, a problem solver and I'm driven. For two years I immersed myself in learning web development while working full time with the Waterloo School Board. In other words? I know how to work hard, stay focused and function on 5 hours of sleep. And now? I'm ready to find the right team for my first coding position. A place where I can contribute and also learn; where I'll meet some good people and some interesting challenges. So... if you have a position available (or if you don't) I'd welcome a conversation, a virtual coffee or advice. I'm all ears and ready to go.
What I know.
Here are some of the tools in my toolbox.
