I'm Joe, a software engineer with 5 years of experience. I enjoy building websites & mobile apps using React & Python.
About Me
After graduating with a degree in Management Information Systems, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in a coding bootcamp at General Assembly where I learned full-stack web development. Soon after I got a job as a software engineer working in biotech for over 3 years. What I like most about programming is tackling the puzzles it throws my way, especially when you finally find the solution to a tough problem. My core technology stack is React, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, and MongoDB. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software engineer.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy snowboarding, playing video games, reading and film. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about AI and video game design.
