Profile: https://flows.cv/justinmeyer

Fluency in JavaScript, React, Redux, GraphQL, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, gRPC, SQL, PostgreSQL, AWS, Heroku, HTML, CSS, and git.

I'm a full-stack developer with a background in mathematics and passion for lifelong learning. The continuous challenge of exploring new concepts and technologies is one which should be met with excitement and genuine curiosity. The field of computer science consistently forces us out of our comfort zone, leading us towards a never ending and captivating journey where we can always learn more.

In my spare time, I write poetry and frequently explore hiking trails around New York City.
