As a former college soccer player, I love competition and the sense of achievement. Since graduating college and moving on from life as an athlete, I was searching for a new challenge. This first led me to learn how to code. I learned that I loved to create things and learning web development was a great way to channel my creative itch. This quickly led me to become a full-time Software Engineer and now part-time founder.
