Hello, my name is Jose. I am passionate about protecting the environment and enjoy spending time outdoors. My son motivates me to improve my life and to set a good example.

I believe technology is both very exciting and useful. I believe in technology’s ability to improve people’s lives.

I enjoy learning about languages and cultures because of the opportunities it gives you to make connections with people as well as for its potential for personal growth.

In mid 2017 I completed a 12 week bootcamp style program in Backend Engineering at The Iron Yard in St. Petersburg, FL. A few months later I landed a role as Jr. Ruby on Rails dev for a small shop specializing in work for the aerospace industry.

My goal now is to continue to grow as a Developer. Currently I've worked as a Fullstack dev on projects aggregating data form multiple sources as well as creating and managing a Learning Management System LMS. In my last role I learned much about AWS technologies for databases like RDS, Redshift & Dynamo DB. I also learned about AWS infrastructure technologies like continous deployment pipeline.

Next on the list is Native AWS deployment and hosting. I am curious and interested in learning other programming languages like Python, Elixir & Java. I'm also interested in learning new frameworks. Next on my list are frameworks & technologies like Node.js, Angular.js, Vue.js, Ionic, Electron and Java.
