About Joe

My career journey started in 2017 when I first started learning HTML, CSS, and Python through Codecademy. Later that year I applied to the Grow with Google Scholarship through Udacity. I was selected for the first round and began learning Java and XML.

The first round started in Janurary 2018 and was three months long. It was to evaluate the skill, dedication, and communication among all applicants. I was chosen as part of the top 10% of applicants to move onto the final round of access to the full Nanodegree program. In October 2018 I graduated Udacity with my Nanodegree in Android Basics.

I then began relearning HTML and CSS through freeCodeCamp. I am currently learning JavaScript and working my way through the rest of the freeCodeCamp courses. I am freelancing and building fun side projects while I search for a company I can be a part of.

Do you want me to build something for you?

I want to build the tech that helps people of all albility levels and increase awareness of the importance of accessibility in all areas of tech.
