Calie Rushton

Discovered code through a meetup, went to bootcamp, now in my first full-time developer role. Currently soaking up everything I can, like a big ol' knowledge sponge...

Education

Flatiron Alumni

Work

Junior Developer

During bootcamp I worked with Ruby, Rails, JavaScript and React.

Previous to my career change I was a car mechanic and then an analyst so I'm into diagnosing a problem, I like to work methodically

I'm keen to really delve deeper into React, as I feel I have only scratched the surface. I'm also having a look at Node and Next.js.

I've started to rebuild my final project for Flatiron, which is a picture sharing app I told my friends I would build for them so we could pool our holiday snaps.
I'm also trying to follow Sara Viera's advice to build more dumb sh*t!

If you want any opinions about career changing or going to bootcamp, I'm happy to share.
