After months of night classes, I’ve recently graduated from Fullstack Academy, where I learned the NERP(Node.js, Express.js, React, PostgreSQL) stack for web development. I am looking to bridge the gap between my recent coding experience and my work as a teacher by finding people-centered work in software engineering.
