My journey began by learning Ruby on Rails, HTML / CSS, and some DevOps, in order to build the software platform. I have learned a lot about developing a software platform and have honed my skills as a full-stack developer. I have decided that I want to continue my learning, in a successful start-up environment. I hope to improve my development skills and learn more about how to grow a software company. I hope to find a position that I can do remotely, as I hope to live a nomadic life over the next 2-3 years (hoping to be in Cali from Jan – April 2020 ☺).
