I am a self-taught web developer who enjoys coding all day long. The logic, structure, and design of a websites is like a modern magic that fulfills the fantasies of my childhood, and gives them purpose now as an adult. That about covers my interest in programming.
I also have proven certification online as a Full Stack Developer from freeCodeCamp.org, which includes Responsive Web Design, JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures, Front End Libraries, Data Visualization, API and Microservices, and Information Security & Quality Assurance and totals approximately 1800 hours of course work (or about a year of schooling).
Currently I am running through the Python Certifications at freeCodeCamp.org
