Hello NYC.rb
I'm a relatively new programmer, I've been teaching myself about 1.5 years and have been really inspired by the Ruby community. Shout out to Pivotal Labs!
I come from a hospitality management career. I committed myself full time to learning on my own after being inspired by a good friend of mine who is a software developer in the Boston chapter of Girl Develop it. I am glad to say that I don't regret my choice at all and am deeply grateful to her for showing me the path to walk.
I am looking for an internship, apprenticeship or junior programming position in NYC. If anyone has or knows of such a position, I would love to meet with you.
I am fairly proficient with Ruby (my first language), JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Ruby on Rails and have some know-how with AngularJS. I work hard and learn fast.
You can see my code skills on
GitHub, I just started a blog about my learning and love for tech related things at
rjny.github.io.
Any advice or feedback is appreciated. I look forward to meeting some of you and getting more involved in the NYC.rb community.
Kind regards,
Richard
