Profile: https://flows.cv/yohanan

I’m a driven and passionate problem-solver who loves to code and learn. Before I was coding, I was a special education teacher that looked at students, saw challenges they faced, and came up with plans to help them overcome these challenges. This love of problem solving eventually led me to coding. I now have experience building web applications using Flask (Python), Vue, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, HTML/CSS, and React.js. I’m continually learning new languages and striving to improve myself so that I can feed my passion for learning and problem-solving.

At RippleMatch, we help entry-level candidates find their dream jobs. Figuring out where to begin a career is a huge decision, but students are often forced to rely on overstretched career services centers and personal connections when they begin their job search. We have built the first product ever to automate early career recruiting and career coaching. Our software handles all the heavy lifting that has traditionally gone into recruiting for companies and helps candidates find the right opportunities.

Since launching from a Yale dorm room, we have taken off on college campuses, raised around $5 million in venture funding, and brought on some of the most exciting companies in the country as customers.
