About Me

My name is Jason Weaver and I am a graduate of Altcademy's Full Stack Web Development program.

If you had asked me three years ago, I would have told you I would be an Automotive Technician for the rest of my career. I have always enjoyed cars and understanding the inner workings of mechanisms. However, after over 16 years as a dedicated and hard working employee in the automotive world, I found myself looking for a greater challenge and yearning to learn more.

I have always enjoyed working with computers and initially, this quest for change led me to start taking courses for a PC hardware degree. As part of that coursework, I took an Intro to Programming Logic course. I enjoy the logic and structure of coding and immediately knew that Software Development would be the perfect field for me.

Over the past two years, I have balanced my coursework with my full-time employment. I have completed the full-stack development bootcamp through Altcademy, as well as, supplemental courses through Udemy, SoloLearn, FreeCodeCamp, YouTube, and Wes Bos. Additionally, I have participated in Columbus Ruby Brigade and Front End Columbus.

My specialties include quickly learning new technologies, problem solving, consistently high work ethic and enthusiasm, MVC (Model View Controller) and responsive design principles. So far, I am proficient in HTML, CSS, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, React, CLI, Git, SASS, and jQuery. I am still enthusiastically deepening my knowledge of these languages and working on coding projects.
