I am a U.S. Army veteran turned full-stack JavaScript developer. I see development to be a satisfying challenge for my problem solving personality. I recently participated in a hackathon where my team's project won the "Social Impact" prize. I am currently doing a deep dive in Nodejs and reading up on Web Components.
Army - not specifically. However, it was while I was in the Army that I was introduced to Linux and the concept of open source by a fellow soldier. That introduction started me down that path that led to becoming a developer.
Prize project - a web site that that uses the City of Austin's affordable housing API to search for housing using zip code, number of household members and adjusted income as the criteria. The repo is here: github.com/social-housing/affordab...

Welcome to DEV! Did you learn anything in the Army that helps with being a developer? Also: what was the project that won the prize?
