An Introduction

    I discovered my love for code while working at a printing company in NJ. We'd get tracking numbers from outsourced jobs by email, and have to update them in our system for our customers to see. Our system had no API, so right off the bat, I taught myself Selenium Webdriver with Python to handle the task. From that point on, I couldn't stop automating any repetitive task I came across.

    At a certain point I realized that any sufficiently complex automation would need an interface, and so I taught myself Flask and SQL. With these skills I started a business Automating Twitter Advertising. Since I got that established and running smoothly, I began to seek out how I could improve as a programmer. I applied for App Academy due to the difficult admissions process, and air of difficulty I read about them. There I developed the skills to write Ruby, Rails, Javascript, React, and improve my SQL queries and CSS styles.

    During my job search, a friend introduced me to Ethereum and I fell for it. Automating repetitive administrative tasks seemed like where I wanted to be. I found myself excited to enter the development world at Axoni, learning the ins and outs of finance, and writting solidity. Shortly after, I discovered DeFi when MakerDAO launched DAI. Its largely consumed my life since then. I look forward to one day working in the public Ethereum space.
