Hi Everyone. I have over 25 years of experience in IT. During this time, I’ve served as a sysadmin; worked in security conducting vulnerability assessments, and ensuring compliance; and functioned as a system engineer But coding and development just never stuck. I wrote a little BASIC when I was a kid in the late 80's and 90's and when I finally decided to go to college in 2010-2012 I took my 2 courses in Java and my 1 course in web dev. It just never took. About 18 months ago, I became the lead systems engineer of two projects and both projects have a software development teams. Honestly I had no idea what they did, I didn't understand the process of development, and with one of the groups being primarily contractors, I really needed to understand what the heck they were doing. Fortunately, we have a Udemy business account. I took Jonas Schmedtmann's web-app in a weekend course and unexpectedly found a new love! Currently I'm working to hone my skills at writing REST API's with Node/Express and PGSQL. I'm also learning Angular, both of the projects I'm running use it, and one project has no real front-end developer (and it shows.. lol). (Sorry for the very long intro)
