background
during the summer of 2020 i discovered bitcoin and it completely changed my
life in so many ways. one of which is that it prompted me to give coding a
try. after discovering how much i enjoy coding, i began working hard at
teaching myself the fundamentals of web development.
my goal was
to become a bitcoin developer so that i could focus all of my resources
towards what i believe is the most important project of our time. i am now
happy to say that i contribute to open source projects and work as a bitcoin
dev full-time!
all of my code is open source, please feel free
to review my code on github. this is my proof of work.
i'd like
to thank everyone who has helped me along this incredible journey so far,
i've met many kind and generous people along the way. for anyone interested
in learning how to code, i wrote a blog
post detailing how i was able to accomplish this.
