Welcome Thread

Hey everyone, I'm a teacher at freeCodeCamp. I am a long-time fan of CodeNewbie and have participated in some of their Twitter chats over the years. I am not sure how much I'll write here on the new CodeNewbie site, but I wanted to introduce myself. I look forward to reading your writing, and hope you all have a fun, insightful time.

Hey everyone! I'm Jeremy Schuurmans -- I'm a former boot camp student and current junior engineer. I love helping other people in their coding journeys because so many people helped (and continue to help) me in mine. I'm looking forward to seeing this space grow!

Hello everyone! I have been a long time follower of CodeNewbie and Dev. I was super excited by the merger of the two a while back and I can only imagine what this community will grow into.

I have been in development for a decade now, mostly within the AWS ecosystem, but have been doing more and more with Hybrid cloud and multi-cloud things. I am very excited to continue sharing my knowledge with this inclusive community.

Hey y'all! I'm a former bootcamp graduate and have been working as a software engineer who primarily works with Ruby on Rails for 7 months now. I went through a 14 month long and arduous job search before landing my current role, where I now sit on the other side of interviews!

My passion for blogging was sparked over on DEV nearly 2 years ago now. Writing for the CodeNewbie tag there was one of my favorite things to do, so I'm really excited to be here and help contribute to this amazing community and resource for CodeNewbies!

Hey everyone! My name is Ken. I’m a React Developer. First got started in 2014 with Laravel. Got my first job as a junior dev with no degree and no previous experience of any kind. It was all thanks to amazing content created online by other awesome devs. So now in addition to my day job I focus on helping others break into the industry regardless of their education or experience. Excited to be here!
