About

That's me to the left there. Well about as much of my face as you can see being hidden by my daughter's hands. I am not trying to be mysterious by not showing my face. I guess I am trying to convey my priorities. End of fatherly-love-rant. I am a native Arizonan who adores downtown Phoenix, where I often frequent underground music venues and video arcade bars (on the weekend, of course).I have spent the last several years working in IT for companies like Uber and Endurance International.

Oh yeah, and I like to code obviously. I am a Full-Stack Ruby on Rails Developer. I have been at it for over a year now. Last summer, I graduated from Tech Talent South's Full-Time Code Immersion program. And then I went on to teach their Full-Time course during the day. I also helped with their Community Outreach (i.e. Coffee and Codes, Hackathons, workshops, lunch and learns, you name it!) on the nights and weekends. All of which taught me the art of networking and I discovered some hidden gems in Phoenix's tech community.
