Hello everyone!

I'm a long-time wanna-be developer, and have recently gotten back into disciplined learning routines with Codecademy, and a couple other online courses on Youtube. I'm also a self-taught novice in SwiftUI and feel fairly confident deploying basic iOS applications.

I found dev.to through Codecademy and I'm excited to connect and learn from the connections that I make on here.

Nice to meet you! I come from a self taught background, my biggest piece of advice is to always remember your 'why'. Remember why you are taking these steps to learn and use that as motivation!

A big fan of open source software, I am a Mozillian who spends much of my spare time as a core contributor to the Mozilla Support team.
