My name is Joe, I’m a software developer from San Francisco. I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn and be challenged. I have a passion for problem solving and software development allows me the opportunity to create things that solve real world problems. I have experience across the full stack of web development with modern libraries and frameworks like React, Redux, Rails and Django.
I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Biochemistry. My interest in software began when I started studying bioinformatics and learned Python. Since then I have learned several languages, built full stack web applications and am always looking to learn more.
