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!

Hey everyone!

As an innovative full-stack developer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in building and maintaining web applications for diverse clients across multiple domains. My expertise spans designing user-friendly interfaces, developing scalable solutions, and ensuring seamless functionality through rigorous testing and debugging.

Currently, I’m working closely with a client in Oslo, leveraging my skills in an Agile-driven environment to deliver high-quality software solutions. With a strong problem-solving mindset and excellent communication skills, I thrive in collaborative settings where I can bridge technical and business needs to drive impactful results.

Trying to learn more about AI trends. I am looking forward to connect and learn from this community.

Hello!

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. I also enjoy writing and designing add-ons and themes for Firefox and testing new features. Away from Mozilla I like working on my own Python and Raspberry Pi based projects and am a keen Debian (stable, with Xfce) user.

Looking forward to sharing with, and learning from, the community here.
