In 2002 I turned my hobby - building websites - into a business when I incorporated my little operation into a company called Web Logic Now. For a decade I gained experience dealing with teams, clients, sales, and business.
In 2011 I moved to Boulder to seek new adventures and a cofounder for my startup - a site where friends can share and talk about memories. That project didn't take off, but creating the alpha version gave me a perfect opportunity to learn the basics of Ruby on Rails.
After getting a taste of Rails I was hooked. My focus turned from my business to more serious programming. This time, I started at the basics: Ruby. I dove into the fundamental concepts and took my time learning the importance of testing. To me, programming is the capacity to create.
Now after a decade at the helm of a small business, I intend to join a team where I can take on a developer role. I’ve learned more in the past four months than I had in the entire year prior, and I intend to do nothing but accelerate – both in my learning and in the value I contribute to the team I join.
