Web/Mobile App Developer
About me
I’m Cory, a Web and Mobile application developer based in Baltimore, MD. I graduated with my associate’s degree in Web Development seven years ago, and since then, I’ve gained invaluable experience working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, PHP, Python, Swift, and Kotlin. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of different projects involving React Native, dozens of WordPress sites and plugins, Laravel applications, and Mobile applications. In addition to development, I’m responsible for managing a team of ten employees, including developers, QA, DevOps, and Scrum Masters. I’ve also had the opportunity to mentor nine aspiring developers. These individuals had no prior experience but went on to be incredibly successful developers.
As a developer and as a leader, I’m an incredibly hardworking and results-driven individual. I’ve always enjoyed challenges and getting to use my creative problem-solving skills. Now I get to use those skills every day at work and empower others to do the same. I’m also passionate about expanding my skillset, and I’ve completed my AWS Certification as well as Udacity’s React Nanodegree.
