I have been a building complex and robust applications with JavaScript, and TypeScript, using different frameworks and libraries, for different companies in Utah (The new raising silicon valley).
After been through a boot-camp and classical formation (college), I understand the needs, and the level that the different students from different backgrounds need.
Now I want to share my knowledge, and help new students that are looking to boost their career, to succeed as a developer in today's industry.
