I started my first dive into code while building hackintosh's back in 2010. I fumbled around writing bootloaders - mainly copying what I found online. I really started to get more interested in the work and began teaching myself python, javascript and C#. While I was in business development roles, professionally, I spent my free time learning. I found React Native about 5 years ago and never looked back. I was developing apps on my own for a couple years before I was finally given an opportunity to do this work for a living with NetJets in 2022 as a developer. I received my senior role a year later in March 2023.
