Hi all. Just completed coding bootcamp for full stack developer in a late-in-life career shift. Fulfilling my desire to code full time, and to keep learning and working as my high school mates are settling into retirement, wondering what's wrong with me. Years ago was writing CGI/Perl scripts, constructing XML schemas for agency-publisher ad workflows, calibrating color production systems, and product managed some of the early graphics software written for the Mac. So great to catch up with the world of JavaScript and all the new libraries and frameworks. Fun fact: love coaching soccer and still keeping up with keyboard skills from first career as a piano teacher.
