Developer/Instructor focusing on Bitcoin, Lightning, and dev education.
From Pleb to PlebDev, my journey has been focused on Bitcoin, Lightning, and education. I started with no coding experience, learned the ropes, made a thousand mistakes, improved and eventually landed my first Bitcoin developer position, and now I want to help you do the same!
