Hey everyone! I'm John, a Full Stack developer interning at American Airlines and going to school for Business Technology at the University of Texas at Dallas.

Node is my forte, but I'm also fairly skilled in Java and a handful of other languages. I'm a part of a consulting firm with some friends, making websites and apps for smaller businesses in the area.

I'm also a part of a couple of podcasts, one that I host myself. Those will be launching in a couple of months.

The first one, Unpaid, launches on November 16th, check it out!

Hi, John! Welcome to DEV!

The UNPAID podcast is an interesting idea. I'm not entirely sure about the "self-made, no bullsh*t" part — isn't a career made of people helping us out and us helping out other people? Interested to see what's in there, though.

Hey Florimond! Thanks for the warm welcome.

I couldn't agree more about helping others out. It's an integral part of how many of our guests are where they are. They received and gave help throughout their careers to where they are now.

The slogan was just put there as a way of saying that they had the perseverance to keep pushing and pushing. We are hoping that it can be a podcast that inspires others to keep pushing through all the hard times that we inevitably all face.
