I am a Front End Engineer who enjoys working with JavaScript. I live in Seattle with my wife, cat and two dogs in an apartment that is too small to hold us all. I'm a self-taught developer and love to help others figure out programming on their own as well!

I’ve taken courses with Rob before. Super solid content in this early release. Can’t wait to see what comes out next.
I appreciate the little projects we get to build. It's been helpful to see how what I'm learning works to make my computer do something.
