Location: Norwalk, Connecticut, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/craigpalermo

I'm a software engineer with a passion for developer experience and front-end development. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2015 with a B.S. in Computer Science, where I gained a background in the fundamentals of computer science and took an interest in web development. While still attending UMD, I worked for a NYC startup as the first developer on their web app, at which point I knew that I wanted to make a career of my new-found interest.
