Back-end Web Developer with a repertoire of front-end skills.
Hello! Thanks for taking the time to view my site.
My name is Donald and I'm journeying back to the software industry – this time as a developer.
In the past, I tested apps and found bugs as a QA analyst. Now, I'm creating apps and fixing bugs as a developer.
As much as I love finding issues in other people's code, I love it more when the code I write doesn't break and my server doesn't 500.
My transition to a developer feels very natural; I'm constantly tested, I'm constantly learning, and there is tangible evidence that I'm growing every day.
When I'm not solving problems in code, I'm solving problems in escape rooms.
I've completed over 30 escape rooms and there's a thrill in challenging my brain to think outside the box, working under a time constraint, and walking out the final door with my teammates.
I'm competitive; not in a sense of winning the game, but more about competing against my past self and moving one step forward to become a better team player.
I view challenges as opportunities to evaluate my skills, criticism as opportunities to improve my weaknesses, and failures as opportunities to establish new goals.
Let's meet up in person and chat over a cup of coffee or a quick lunch.
