About
Nice to meet you! My name is Corey. I'm a Full Stack Developer but I prefer to work on backend technologies like REST APIs. Four years ago during the COVID-19 epidemic, I took a chance and enrolled in the Coding Dojo Full Stack Developer program. I didn't know anything about computers but I have always been a quick learner so I gave it a shot and it was the best choice I ever made. I earned my certificate with top marks and was immediately hired as a Teaching Assistant by the company and later became an instructor. I have a passion for learning. If I don't know it already, I'll figure it out. That's just the kind fo person I am.

My Journey has been an adventure. After graduating from high school, I joined the Air Force, 5 years as a Security Forces officer. I made the rank of Staff Sergeant and then separated with an honorable discharge due to physical fitness. I was lost but I didn't stay stagnant. I got home and used My GI Bill to earn my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. I struggled to find a job in that field and eventually took on jobs as a delivery driver, line cook, anything I could to make it by, but this life eventually led me to coding and I never looked back.
Skills
I have the skills to work on all ends of the Full Stack Spectrum, but I prefer the backend more than anything. APIs and Gamifying processes is a passion of mine.
