Hello, I'm Blair. I'm a software developer with 10 years of experience. I enjoy building sites, apps and anything that peaks my interest. My focus is Data Integration.
About me
After graduating with a degree in Accounting, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in a coding bootcamp and learned full-stack web development. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. I am also familiar with TypeScript and Prisma. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software developer.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and playing with my dog. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about history and philosophy. I'm also learning how to play the guitar.
