Audio Enigneer and Self Taught Coder
During my time earning my Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College Chicago I primarily worked on student films doing audio design and production. I had already been digitally creating music for years so I found myself greatly enjoying the creativity of audio production.
Outside of school, I did my first freelance jobs in the events industry in 2011. A few years later after finishing my degree I transitioned to full time employment in the events industry. I enjoy event production since it allows you to take elements of audio, video, camera, projection and other technologies and combine them in interesting and creative ways.
I have spent the last few years learning how to code whenever I have time. I enjoy the problem solving aspect as well as the creativity process which I find similarly gratifying to my experience working with sound design and music composition. I have primarily worked with HTML, CSS, SASS, JavaScript, Typescript, React and Node.js. I have also used MongoDB, Express, Material-UI, Netlify, Vercel, Heroku as well as other web development libraries and tools in addition to some Java, C# and SQL.
Codecademy is the primary way I learned how to code. I find watching videos or lectures to be helpful, but sometimes it is good to learn by simply doing it yourself and I find Codecademy does this very well.
Scrimba is really one of a kind in that you learn with videos that you can actually code inside of! MIND BLOWN. The courses on CSS Grid and Flexbox were really amazing and I still come back to them from time to time.
Udemy has a lot of not super great content on it, however I found this JavaScript Course by Maximilian Schwarzmüller to be absolutely amazing. This course was pivotal to my JavaScript learning experience.
