Summary
Hi! I'm a self-taught developer who's been doing web development for almost 20 years now. I love teaching and have recently started making youtube videos of beginner web dev projects, talking through the code and explaining as I go. Check them out to see if we'd be a good fit! https://youtu.be/yTZNmqAeiso
